Selling at auction: instructions
Why sell at auction?
- To make sure you don’t miss out on seemingly insignificant objects that could be treasures.
- To get the best price for your object by putting thousands of buyers around the world in competition with each other thanks to maximum visibility.
- To pay quickly and avoid any future disputes in the event of divorce, separation, inheritance, moving house, personal debts (unpaid rent, tax arrears, etc.) or professional debts to be honored (suspension of payments, URSSAF or RSI adjustment, etc.), an insurance assessment (theft, fire, damage, burglary, etc.) or simply regarding the evolution of your collection.
With a fee calculated on the final price (the hammer price), the auctioneer shares the same interest as the sellers:
to achieve the highest price.
