immediate cash payment in Swiss francs. Foreign currencies
are accepted at current exchange rates or as credited
by a major Swiss bank. The day of receipt or credit
applies.
Peter Rapp AG has the right to withdraw, regroup or refuse
to knock down any lot. In the event of identical bids,
the one first received takes precedence; in the event of
misunderstandings, the lot is reoffered. Bidding increments
are at a minimum of 5% and a maximum of 10%.
2. Lots are awarded to the highest bidder at the time of sale
which creates an obligation to take delivery. A commission

parties are jointly and severally liable with such third parties.
Upon the fall of the hammer, the risk transfers to the
purchaser.

VAT of 8% will only be imposed on the commission, possible
postage, insurance and additional services. Here is the list of lots marked with a *:

4. Platinum, silver, copper (and other non-gold) coins as
well as all medals, (medallions), orders of merit, antiques

VAT of 8% will be levied on the grand total of the auction

added tax will be invoiced to purchasers resident outside
Switzerland who personally collect the lots in Wil. However,
