Guide for absentee bidders
If you are unable to attend an auction in person or to connect to our BLive platform, you may give Baghera/wines instructions to bid on your behalf. Our staff members will then try to purchase the lot(s) of your choice for the lower price possible.
Please note this service is free, totally confidential and offered as a convenience to clients who are unable to attend the sale.
Although our representative will make every effort, Baghera/wines will not be responsible for error or failure to execute bids.
In order to place absentee bids, please use the dedicated ABSENTEE BIDS FORM (Auctions in Switzerland🇨🇭 & Auctions in France 🇫🇷). Each bid form should contain the sale number. Please accurately record the lot number and the maximum bid (in the monetary value of the sale in question) you are willing to place for each lot. Please note that unlimited bids will not be accepted.
Your bid form must be completed and sent to us as soon as possible.
In event of identical bids, the earliest received will take precedence. Alternative bids may be indicated by using the word “OR” between lot numbers. As a result, if your bid on an early lot is successful, our representative will not continue to bid on other lots on your behalf, or, if your early bids are unsuccessful, we will continue to execute bids for alternative lots until a bid is successful.
It is important that your bids are listed in numerical order (as the lot numbers appear in the catalogue).
If you cannot attend the auction, you can place bids on the telephone.
We also recommend that you leave a covering bid which we can execute on your behalf just in case we are unable to reach you by telephone.
As the number of telephone lines are limited please make arrangements for this service at least 48 hours before the sale by filling in the TELEPHONE BIDDING FORM (Auctions in Switzerland🇨🇭 + Auctions in France 🇫🇷).
Please note that Baghera/wines only offers telephone bids in French, English, Spanish, German and Chinese.
The maximum bid price that you indicate in your absentee bid form is the hammer price only.
If you are successful on a lot, a buyer’s premium of 22% will be added to the hammer price for each lot you buy.
An additional VAT tax of 8,1% for Swiss auctions or 20% for French auctions will be lieved on the hammer price (if the lot is indicated "In Bond") AND buyer’s premium.
Successful bidders will be notified and invoiced within a few days of the sale.
