Live auctions are live broadcasts of a sale held in the auction room, typically in a public setting. This allows you to bid in real time, just like the bidders present in the room.
To participate in a Live auction, please register by entering your contact information and providing your credit card details, or occasionally a bank account imprint. Registration is generally possible before and during the auction.
You can bid in two ways in the Live auctions presented on Interencheres:
-
Lively, during the sale: During the sale, your bids will be announced and considered by the auctioneer as if you were in the room.
-
By placing automatic bids: Your orders will be automatically placed on your behalf by Interencheres' technology, as if you were participating live, guaranteeing you the fairest price within the limit of your maximum bids.
These live sales can be recognized on our site by the red icon and the red border around the lots. To find out more, see our “How to bid” section.
Please note: In France, the term “commissaire-priseur” is the usual term used to mean “auctioneer”. For more information on this terminology, refer to this article.
