Bid on an auction and Automatic Bidding

To bid for a piece in Empire Auctions, you must first be registered as a user since it is necessary to have a "user code / pseudonym" and a "password" that you can only get with this record.

Steps to follow:

1. Enter the lot, where you can enlarge the available photos and see a broad description, the date and time at which the auction ends and the bid history. If you would like additional information, do not hesitate to contact us.

2. Mark the amount you wish to bid and by clicking on & quot; bid & quot ;, a simulation of the invoice will appear on the screen with the total that should be settled, including commission and taxes, if the lot were awarded. By "Accept" This invoice will enter your bid. Auctions Empire will inform you, via mail, if they exceed your bid.

2b. Automatic bidding is a system with which if you cannot be present at the auction your lot will be bid by the system if you have exceeded your bid, up to the maximum amount you indicated.                         
This mechanism is activated by bidding for a batch for an amount that exceeds the amount immediately above the predetermined bid scale.                         
In the case that you make a higher bid, the system will enter a bid that exceeds the amount already existing and will remember your self-bid, which will act only at the moment they exceed you until you reach the amount you have indicated.                         
In the event that another user makes a bid for an amount equal to their automatic bid, the oldest bid will have priority over the current bid or one that does not exceed its amount.

3. If you are the successful tenderer, during the next day, you will receive an email with the invoice that you must pay by bank transfer in a period not exceeding 7 days. The highest bid will be the winner (as long as it exceeds the starting or reserve price, if applicable) and meets the conditions established by the seller for said auction.

4. Transportation and packaging is always the responsibility of the buyer. Empire Auctions can manage it or you can pick up the piece personally in our Hall.

If you cannot bid directly on our website, you can do it by phone or give us the instructions by e-mail, our staff in the Room will bid on your behalf.

Bidders are warned that the seller-assignor of the lots may have set an amount as the reserve price of each lot below which the sale will not occur. If the bidder's position exceeds the reserve price set by the transferor / seller, the lot will be sold, if the position does not reach the reserve price, it will be consulted with the transferor / seller in case he wants to lower his claims and access the sale. All of which will be immediately communicated to the buyer.

Remember that during the three minutes before the auction closes any bid increases the completion time by three minutes.
