If a reserve price is not met at an auction, is this visible after the auction has ended?

The first lot at the last Marc Sleen auction has ended for a quarter of the estimate (€ 900 vs € 3,000 - € 4,000). Which makes me wonder: Was the reserve very low and sold for € 900, or was it not sold and not showing?

An auctioneer's estimate is not the same as a reserve price.

In the bottom right of the FAQ:

What does "auctioneer estimate" mean?

For some valuable lots, an estimate of the yield made by the auctioneer is indicated. Estimates given with the lot are no more than a rough indication and do not guarantee the true value.

What is a reserve price?

A reserve price is a hidden minimum price; the minimum price for which a provider wants to sell his lot. If the auction ends and the reserve price is not bid, the lot has not been sold. Visit this page for more information.

No, afterwards it is no longer stated whether the reserve has been taken or not.

An estimate from the auctioneer is only included if there is also a reserve price. You can assume that the minimum price is never (much) lower than the lowest estimate.

So that drawing by Sleen has simply not been sold. I don't know why it is so secretive about it.

Someone pointed me to this thread.

The auctioneer's estimate is not only included if there is a reserve price, but is in principle always with a very valuable lot.

This Sleen drawing (lot 1) has indeed been sold.

@Rene

me and others have regularly noticed that some lots return to the auction between 3 and 7 times without reserve price, from the same supplier and with the same photos. It is also striking that these lots are from a few many suppliers, some work through antiques & amp; curiosities and the other (s) through the design auction.

As a frequent supplier, you can make special agreements with Catawiki so that without reserve price the offered lots are not hammered for an apple and an egg?

I made a schematic overview of this a few months ago, will see if I have saved it.

No, the conditions are the same for every seller.

The whole reserve bid story is a weak bid as long as users complain that their items cannot be auctioned due to too much supply or too low yield expectations of the auctioneer. who clearly has less confidence and needs a minimum price, should we turn the proverb as the innkeeper trusts his guests?

My question about how you can see whether or not a lot with a reserve has been sold after the auction has ended remains unanswered. I did some research by keeping an eye on a lot with a reserve price, this lot: http://veiling.catawiki.nl/kavels/582999-disney-walt-3-blikken-dozen-mickey- and-snow-white-1930s

This lot had a reserve price, which was not reached during the bidding. Now that the auction has ended, there is a final bid of € 200, but it is no longer clear whether the lot has been sold. Why is that? Why doesn't it just say "lot has not been sold"?

At regular auctions you also have the aftersales and unsold lots are sometimes still sold for a slightly lower price. If I understand correctly, lots with a reserve price during an auction will say whether a price has not yet been reached. Once it has been collected, that text will disappear and the lot will be sold. If it is not passed, the item has not been sold.

Unfortunately I was unable to follow this exciting auction, because I was following the BNN National IQ test 2014 and got a score of 134. Therefore I do not know if the reserve price has been met and it is not mentioned.

What is in any case certain is that all lots with an estimate from the auctioneer from this auction have not met their estimate. I had also reported this to the auctioneer, but unfortunately I did not have the time to pass on the correct estimates, which were closer to the current sales prices. Only the proceeds of the Snow White lot I think is extremely high for drawings that most probably do not come from New York, but from Eastern Europe (Czechoslovakia ??). And if it already yielded so much money, then the provider should at least have correctly stated his description (dinnir ??). Perhaps a little too much was paid for lot 116, which I think you can still buy it at The American Bookstore for 250 euros.

I also think that the estimates are incorrect, because the drawings already have a lot of money is spent and then the other things are left to someone else. As a result, there are also items that in my opinion are hammered for far too little (such as those Bayard clocks, for collectors at least 150 euros), but that is nice for a collector.

Actually off topic, but it is striking about the same auction that, for example, the same items often appear at auctions. I think I have lot 119 already number (4x?) times and then I think around the price for which he is now hammered. And I also think it's great to see if something is really from that time, because I also have that album in new condition, but it is so cool that I cannot see whether it is a reprint or real.

@DisneyMeentwijc: thanks for your quick and extensive answer.

I kept an eye on the lot http://veiling.catawiki.nl/kavels/582999-disney-walt-3-blikken-dozen-mickey-en-snowwhite-years-30 when it expired. Shortly before the lot expired, the highest bid of € 200 was made, with the message "Reserve price not yet reached". Now that the auction has ended, the highest bid is still € 200, so I can only conclude that the lot has not been sold. But that is not indicated in the lot, I only know because I saw the lot expire.

Another lot of which I am (still) certain that it has not been sold is lot 105 . The highest bid of €295 on that lot is mine. After that bid I received the message "Note: you have made a bid below the reserve price (...) This lot has a reserve price. Your bid is still below this. If the auction ends and the reserve price is not bid, then the lot is not sold. Your bid is visible in the bidding history."

I have won 2 of the other lots from this auction, and lot 105 is also not on the list of lots I have to pay for.

Date? Not sold

And then the current auction. Usually seems to be other copies, but you do start to wonder whether this is really such a rare book when there are so many to be found in the Netherlands and Belgium. No idea if and when facsimiles were made (like Journal de Mickey 1 from 1934, always confusing when you find it).

Even more OT.

* It is not the first book with Donald Duck, it is the first book by Donald Duck. The first book with Donald was Mickey Mouse Annual 3 from 1933.

* It's a weird book. Is officially earmarked as very rare, but appears to pop up everywhere and nowhere. And not just here. I know a documented story from a collector from America. A dealer had told him he would never find the book for less than $ 300. That's why the collector bought every copy he could get for (usually much) less than $ 300. A few years ago he already had more than 30 copies. :-)

Also off-topic actually.

But this is also a very nice comparison in terms of shipping costs.

5 x exactly the same sheet

  • 8.00
  • 8.50
  • 15.00
  • 12.00
  • 15.00

Between the highest and lowest is almost double!

Not that I begrudge you, Lordenie, but that is the main reason that I myself

no longer offers anything on the Catawiki auction, that ridiculously low starting price of 1 euro.

This lot had a reserve price, which was not reached during the bidding. Now that the auction has ended, there is a final bid of € 200, but it is no longer clear whether the lot has been sold. Why is that? Why does it not simply say "lot is not sold"?

This topic has been opened with this question, but unfortunately still no clarifying answer has been given.

Would someone from Catawiki answer why it is not listed if a lot remains unsold because the reserve price has not been reached? I think it is essential to know whether or not a lot has been sold for a certain price.

And hopefully this information can become visible in the future.

As long as the reserve price has not been reached, the lot has not been sold.

But that is also not clear, because the text "reserve price has not been reached" is no longer there after the auction has closed at

this comic: http://veiling.catawiki.nl/kavels/921861-robbedoes-tijdschrift-79-a-robbedoes-verzamelde- numbers-79-hc-1961

When you bid on something with a reserved price and you are below the limit, you will receive a message with the text that it will not be sold if the reserved price is not reached.

AND yes that the closed auction no longer stated the reserved price may be annoying but not entirely wrong. After all. What is offered always better indicates the value one is willing to pay for it. And therefore a better indication of the value than the reserved price that one person attached to it.

Hello, if a lot remains on 1E, for example, then packing alone is already too expensive.

Or you have to negotiate a ridiculously high shipping price.

Why can't you specify a minimum price for everything?

With permission from Catawiki, of course.

Otherwise the risk is very high and you are better off on the marketplace

offer.

@ graskees

If the lot is at 1 € (Ctrl-Alt-5 ) Remains, everyone will immediately take into account a price of say 10 €. Or, in case he has already bought something from the provider, with that 1 €

And yes if you state the requirement that "the expected return must be more than 75 €" then 1 € might be low but I don't see the problem. At the auction I mark the items that I want to follow as a favorite and the items on which I may be bidding there I will bid at the beginning. That way I can limit the selection during the auction to what I want to track and the "buy options" are recognizable by the red color. Works well.

And lots that I could buy under 10 € I did not come across with my "buy options" I do see them on other auctions, for example with LPs, but that is also a difficult to predict market .
