Bidding Process
The auctioneer will introduce each upcoming item, with its number and catalogue price. The bids will increase

By 200 HUF between 1,000 - 5,000 HUF
500 HUF between 5,000 - 10,000 HUF
1,000 HUF between 10,000 - 50,000 HUF
2,000 HUF between 50,000 - 100,000 HUF
10,000 HUF over 100,000 HUF

The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer will be the buyer at the hammer price. Unsold items may be asked to be re-auctioned any time during the auction. Sold goods cannot be re-called for auction. Buyers should clearly express their intent to bid.

Immediately after the sale the buyer assumes ownership over the item and payment should be made in cash following the auction. The buyer shall pay the hammer price plus 12 % of the hammer price. Sold items can be collected at the auction site, following the auction or the following day in the auctioneer's showroom.

If instructed we will execute absentee bids. Fifty percent of the offered amount is to be paid as advanced payment. Absentee bids of institutions will be accepted without advance payment. A letter of intent should confirm the buyer's order. "Buy" of unlimited bids will not be accepted.

In the event of identical bids the room will take precedence. The auctioneer reserves the right to modify the catalogue price in case of several absentee bids higher than the catalogue price.
