2.
After this first step, if we agree to put it up for auction, we will do the following:
Cataloguing of the lot (your item) for an upcoming auction: you will receive a full record of the lot(s) and the date of auction. Galerie Moderne manages its auction inventory using high-performance software it has developed and which ensures minimal risk of error. For the entire auction process, you remain the owner of the lot.
Advertising of your lot in the daily newspapers (Le soir, La Libre, Het Niewsblad, etc.), specialised press (Antique Trade Gazet, Gazette Drout, etc.), in our catalogue, to which numerous customers subscribe, and finally on our website, which is very effective, where each lot is presented in detail, including photo. The website is updated monthly for each auction and an alert system, thanks to our extensive database, informs a wide range of potential customers both in Belgium and abroad.
Transport to the exhibition which precedes each auction: we guarantee that your items will be presented with care and in complete safety in pleasant surroundings.
Auctioning: the type of auction used is an English auction, in the presence of a court bailiff. Each lot sold is reported on.
3.
Payment is made 21 days after the auction sale. We can pay you at our offices (cash payments up to EUR 3,000.00) or by bank transfer, as you prefer. The amount transferred will be the auction amount minus 15% fees and 2,50 euros per lot. You will receive a detailed report of the auction. For more information, please read our terms and conditions.
