How does a Live Auction via the Internet work?
At our auctions you have the possibility to bid through the Internet as if you were sitting in our auction hall. The end of an auction is no longer determined by a fixed time but by our virtual auctioneer. All items out of the categories “collections and lots”, i.e. lots numbered 30000 and up, will be auctioned off LIVE. The lots are put up for auction in the order of their numbers (starting with lot #30000). Everyone who has registered for the Live Auction at www.philasearch.com and whose computer fulfills the technical requirements can participate and bid.
Online bidding via the Internet
You can bid as usual until the auction starts. You can also place higher bids – bidding is always done in your favor.
READY – SET- GO... the virtual auctioneer automatically starts a few minutes before the Live Auction begins and so you are able to start directly by clicking the link to the auction room.
All lots from #30000 and up are put up for auction now and are awarded to the highest bidder. You can check your account statement and the history of all bids you have made in real-time. By clicking on the “BIETEN”-BUTTON you bid on the lot that appears on the screen. The auctioneer offers each lot three times: going once, going twice, going three times – sold! Each lot is awarded to the highest bidder by the hammer price on three.
Please register yourself for the live auction at www.philasearch.com until Friday 24 November 2023 at the latest.
Starting prices
If the starting price is indicated as a “Gebot“ the minimum bid is 6 euros. Bids less than 6 euros will not be accepted.The lot is awarded to the person bidding the highest price. However, we will adjust this price downwards to ensure the successful bidder pays only one increment higher than the second highest bid, i.e. if you bid 50 euros and nobody else bids on the same lot, it will be awarded to you for 6 euros. If you bid 50 euros and the second highest bid is 10 euros, the lot will be awarded to you for 12 euros, as you only have to pay one additional increment.
Please check our bidding increments carefully before submitting your bids. Bids not corresponding to our bidding increments are automatically increased to the next increment!
