Buying at Auction:
Terms and Conditions
Online Auction
New items are added every day and are open for bidding for 10 days. All starting prices are the minimum bid price. Fees added are 23% on top of the hammer price. There is an additional 5.75% used VAT for Norwegian customers for items marked with an asterisk (*). Art sold at more than 2000 NOK also has an additional 5% artists’ fee. For foreign customers we add a 5% VAT onto the invoice, which would be equivalent to purchase within the EU.
