Sales Type Definitions

No reserve price: This means there is no minimum bid amount required. The lot will be awarded to the highest bidder.

Allocation: This means that the highest bid must be approved by the seller for a sale to go through.

Reserve price: The reserve price is the lowest price that could win this item.

• A reserve price can only be set on lots exceeding €200.
