Bidding

Each year, thousands of collectors and dealers from all over the globe visit our exciting auctions to bid for some of the world’s most coveted individual items and collections. There are various ways of taking part. You can bid in person, by post or by telephone, or you can appoint a professional auction agent to represent you.


Bidding in person
Large numbers of people bid in person at our auctions. If you wish to do this, we will allocate you a bidder number which allows you to participate and ensures that you remain anonymous. I'd like to bid in person.


Bidding by phone
If you prefer to bid from home, our telephone bidding service gives you a direct link to the auction room. Please let us know well beforehand if you wish to do this.


Online bidding before the auction
You can place online bids before the auction through the world wide web. For online bidding prior registration is required. Peter Rapp AG automatically grants you a bidding limit of CHF 30'000. If you know in advance that this standard bidding limit will be insufficient for your bids, please let us know in due time.


Live real-time bidding during the auction
Through the world wide web you can place your bids online & live in real time during the auction. For detailed registration information, please see.


Bidding through an agent
We can also help you find a professional auction agent to represent you.


Bidding by mail
Thousands of people submit bids by post or fax: download bidder's order. If you do this, the auctioneer will act on your behalf as though you were in the auction room yourself, but will keep your identity strictly confidential. If possible, he will attempt to obtain the lot for you at the lowest price possible. For example if you bid CHF 1'000 for a lot, the highest bid apart from yours is CHF 700, and the bidding is rising in increments of CHF 10, he will award you the lot for CHF 750.
