Buying in - only in exceptional cases
Important to know: the auction house not specifically a purchasing undertaking. In exceptional cases - if the item is truly special, valuable and sought after - we will make an offer to buy it, which is 50-60% of fair market value by definition, but these are rare exceptions. Buying an artifact is only worthwhile for us if there is guaranteed demand for the item on the auction market and a favorable price, in which case, however, it is, immediately and for cash we buy.

If there is only one bidder for your artwork, there will be no competition and prices will remain low, typically at the starting price or in after sales.
The auction house is your partner in this strategic bidding process: we organise shows, promote the artworks in multi-site travelling exhibitions, promote the artworks through extensive B2B and Facebook Insta TikTok marketing activities to generate interest, but it won't be effective if you are not pro-actively involved.
