How the live auction works

Technical Requirements

• Internet access
• Adobe Flash Player enabled (the browser will provide it automatically if it is not yet in your computer)

Process for the internet live bid

1. Enter in the Live auction page.
2. If you are already registered, login using your username and password then register on “live auction”. If you are not yet registered on our site, simply click on register and then proceed as per the instructions above. Please register for the “live auction” at least a day before the auction at the latest. Later registration cannot be guaranteed. When your registration is completed you will receive our e-mail confirmation, which we ask you to reconfirm for security reasons. One registration is sufficient for all bids during the entire auction series.
3. Together with the registration confirmation, each internet bidder is automatically granted a purchasing limit of 10’000 Euro (15'000 CHF for the session of Switzerland). If you wish to increase your limit, please send an e-mail to our accounts department at info@investphila.com indicating your purchasing limit request.
4. Before you start bidding, we recommend that you practice on our simulator in order to get used to the technique of bidding online.
5. Click “bidding” as soon as the lot you are interested in is offered in the auction room. The key “bidding” will indicate the amount you have offered. The live auction employee will alert the auctioneer that you are interested in the offered lot. Our system will clearly confirm if you have won the lot.
6. The indication “Going, Going”, will indicate that the time to bid on the offered lot is expiring but you can still bid. When the indication “Going, Going, Gone” appears, it means that no more bids will be accepted.
7. If several bids are placed via internet on the same lot, please consider that only the first bid received will be accepted. If your bid it is not the first received, it will not be indicated as the winning on the screen. In this case, if interested, please place your increased bid immediately. When the lot is knocked down by the auctioneer, it will be clearly indicated if you or another bidder won the lot.
8. Bidding increments via the internet will follow the same increments as in the auction room. The bidding increments are as follows:
   
   

   From	To	Increment
   50 € 100 € 500 € 1.000 € 2.000 € 5.000 € 10.000 € 20.000 € 50.000 € 100.000 € 200.000 €	100 € 500 € 1.000 € 2.000 € 5.000 € 10.000 € 20.000 € 50.000 € 100.000 € 200.000 € 500.000 €	+10 € +20 € +50 € +100 € +200 € +500 € +1.000 € +2.000 € +5.000 € +10.000 € +20.000 €

   
   Over € 500'000 the bidding increment is € 50'000.
   Bidding increments are the same for the session of the Switzerland; in this case just replace the symbol € with CHF.
9. If you do not wish to register for the live auction, you can still have the opportunity to follow the auction on our web site.
