Auctions at Vendu Dickhaut Maastricht

An auction is a way of buying and selling objects through bidding. Interested parties can bid online for the lots offered at Vendu Dickhaut Maastricht. When the auction ends, the object goes to the highest bidder.

An auction is preceded by careful preparation. After all submitted objects have been processed, they are published well in advance in the online catalogue on this website.

The viewing days

Before every auction, Vendu Dickhaut Maastricht organises viewing days so that you can take a closer look at the lots. This gives you the chance to assess the condition of the items and estimate your (opening) bid. If you would like to bid on an item, simply make a account on this website. It is possible to place your (final) bid already prior to the auction.

Vendu Dickhaut Maastricht organises timed online auctions. A timed online auction has a predetermined start and end time. The auction starts automatically at the scheduled time and from that moment you can bid on the lots. The bidding process is fully digital and automated.

The lots will be presented in the online catalogue prior to the auction. From then on, you can bid at any time during the bidding period. The starting price is determined in advance based on the valuation of our expert appraisers. This starting price is also indicated in the catalogue, so that all interested buyers know the minimum amount they must bid to participate.

During the auction, you can adjust your bid and possibly set an automatic bid up to a certain maximum. When the auction ends, the item is sold to the highest bidder. If bids are still placed in the last three minutes of the auction, the closing time of the lot is extended to allow other bidders to submit a counter bid.
