The sales tax is included in the differential taxation. Rules of Procedure Extract from the Rules of Procedure, as of April 2024 The auctions are conducted in accordance with the Rules of Procedure of the Widder Auctions of Kunsthandel Widder GmbH. The exact wording of these rules is available at the auction house and can be downloaded from www.widderauktionen.com Estimated prices, starting price, minimum sale price, limit, hammer price: In object descriptions, an upper and lower estimated price is stated in Euro.

The auctioneer increases the price by steps of approx. 10%, although it is possible to deviate from this. The highest bid wins, provided that the minimum selling price has been reached.
