If there were two or more than two offers of the same amount in writing, the lot shall start in the auction-room from the sum itself and, where there are no offers in the auction-room, the lot shall be awarded to the first one received. Offers received in writing take precedence over the ones with the same amount bid in the auction-room.

5 - The bids increase will be at the auctioneer’s discretion, but they will not be over the 10% with a minimum of € 10.00. Bids stating such expressions as “the best” or similar phrases will not be taken into consideration.
