To participate in the auction

A 25% commission is added to the total amount, incl. VAT + SEK 50 punch fee. All bids are binding. As a buyer, there are several ways to participate in bidding:

To bid in the auction room.

Leave a written advance bid in the hall during the viewing or auction.

Bid online until the start of the auction.

Telephone bids. This needs to be requested and approved well before the auction.

Absentee bids.

All absentee bids are treated confidentially. In our catalog, the leading bid is visible, but never the customer's maximum or absentee bid. The system will bid on your behalf until your max bid is reached. If no one else is bidding, the hammer price can be much lower than the specified max bid.  When several bids for the same amount have been entered, the first bid is the one that will be accepted. 

Pickup and shipping

Purchased goods are collected no later than 5 days after the auction, unless otherwise agreed. We provide storage options for smaller goods, however, all goods are stored at the customer's own risk. We take care of packing and send by post at a favorable price. Additional cost for packaging and shipping will be applied. Contact us for more information.

We pack carefully, but take no responsibility for damage or lost packages after the package has been sent.

Payment

Can be done on site with Card, swish or cash. It is also possible to pay the invoice via bank transfer or directly with a payment card via the website. Note that payment by card via the website entails an extra fee, which varies depending on the type of card used.

Dalarnas Auktionsbyrå is an exception to the law on card purchase fees, as we fall under the commission law. (2009:865)
