The auctioned objects are specified and described in the catalogue of sale, inclusive of the lowest bid (starting price) and the estimated price (as assessed by a professional appraiser); the auction catalogue is an appendix and indelible part of this auction notice. The auction’s course is subject to the Rules of Proceedings for Public Sales that are displayed on the premises of the auctioneer’s hall.
<p>1. Auctioneer
Upon the demand of the auction broker or one of his proxies, the participants are obliged to prove their identity with an official ID card or passport or, as the case may be, present their power of attorney to act on behalf of the bidder; they are also obliged to have themselves enlisted in the list of auction participants and to submit a declaration of honour according to which they are not ineligible for public sales. If the bidder is a legal person, then their proxy has to prove his authorization to act on their behalf by ways of an excerpt from the Commercial Register dating back not more than 6 months, and by a valid ID card. During the auction, the participants make their bids in person, using exclusively their bidding number plate that is available for a refundable deposit of CZK 500,-.
<p>2. Enrollment of bidders
For bidders, it is possible to enroll either before the auction, on the exhibition premises of FORUM 9/11, or on the day of the auction itself, an hour before the auction begins and exclusively at the venue of the public sale.
<p>3. Written bids
A participant may also make his bid without being present at the auction, based upon a power of attorney with date, address and phone contact that authorizes the auction broker to represent him at the auction. This power of attorney must contain the catalogue number, the detailed description of the object and the maximum purchase limit that the proxy may bid. In the event of equal limits, the limit that has been submitted earlier has priority. In the event of the price achieved during bids being equal to the limit, the adjudication goes to the bidder who is present at the auction hall. The auction office maintains confidentiality about the limits; it may condition the acceptance of powers of attorney with the payment of a deposit.
<p>4. Bidding via phone
Subject to an agreement with the auction office, the participant may bid via phone. The respective power of attorney must contain the same data as stated above for written offers, except for the purchase limit.
Upon the respective agreement with the auction office, all written offers and all motions for bidding via phone must be registered in person, one day prior to the commencement of the auction at the very latest.
<p>5. The course of auction
The auctioned goods are put up in the order listed in the catalogue, subject to organizational changes by the auction broker.
After the respective object is put up, the participants may make their bids by raising their number plate. The auction continues as long as bids are made. The auction broker may deny a bid without giving reasons. If, despite two calls by the auction broker, no further bid is made, then the auction broker announces the last bid again and, after a third call, knocks down for the benefit of the participant with the highest bid.
The participant is bound by his bid. The bidding price may not be curtailed afterwards.
The adjudication goes to the participant whose bid was knocked down. Any disputes in this regard are settled exclusively by virtue of the auction office’s decision.
If even upon repeated call, no one makes the lowest bid, then the object is deemed unfit for auction.
<p>6. The increments
The Auctioneer states the increments as follows
Actual bidding price increment
up to 2.000 100 CZK
