How it works

    Buying at a Swiss auction from the United States is straightforward. Here is the process, step by step.

    1. Create a free account

    Register with your email address. Your account lets you bid, follow lots on your watchlist and receive your invoices.

    2. Browse the catalog

    Each lot has detailed photos, a description, dimensions, condition notes and, where applicable, an estimate. The starting price is the first valid bid.

    3. Place your bids

    Bid with one click at the next increment, or set a proxy (absentee) bid: the system bids for you, one increment at a time, up to your maximum.

    4. Lots close one by one

    Lots close in sequence. A bid placed in the final minutes extends the closing time, so every bidder has a fair chance to respond.

    5. Invoice and payment

    Winning bidders receive an invoice by email with a secure online payment link. Amounts are invoiced in euros; the US dollar figures shown on the site are indicative only.

    6. Shipping

    We arrange shipping to the United States and worldwide. Import taxes and customs duties in the destination country are the buyer's responsibility.

    Please refer to our fees and conditions of sale (in French) for the binding terms, including any buyer's premium.
