Lot Submission & Evaluation
What determines the bidding start price for items with a reserve price?

During the lot submission process, you'll be asked whether you would like the bidding on your lot to start at the reserve price, 60% of the reserve price or €1. A reserve price can be set on a lot that has a minimum estimated value of €200 and is set in consultation with an expert before the lot is approved for auction. We support all three options as some sellers prefer not to reveal the reserve price to bidders. By starting the bidding for your lot from its reserve price, we've seen that the chances of selling your lot are increased. Once the first bid has been placed, your reserve price will be met, meaning it is likely your lot will sell for an even higher amount.
