Online Auction

Maison Bibelot offers the possibility to bid in our online auctions, wherever you may be. The difference between a traditional auction and an online auction is represented in the negotiations that virtually take place; in fact, telecommunication technology and business systems integrated with these new realities, mean that you can access the auction at any time and in any place, without limitation.
The online auction is active 24 hours a day during the period of time indicated on our website. For the duration of the auction, bidders are constantly advised on the variations of prices and any eventual bids, in order to be able to directly intervene with their own submissions.

To participate in an online auction, a bidder must register in the “Login” section filling in the form and attaching a valid identification document or sending it by fax (+39 055 295139). You will then have access to the “MyBibelot” area using a user ID and password, both of which are obtained after the registration. Upon activation of the access codes, you can access single lots and create offers using the bidding system. For the duration of the auction, bidders are constantly advised on the variations of prices and any eventual bids, in order to be able to directly intervene with their own submissions.
the user can bid with fixed raises as follows:

from 0,00 € to 99,00 € raises of 10,00 €
from 100,00 € to 299,00 € raises of 20,00 €
