Conditions of the cataloged sale
1) Deposit a purchase order
2) Identity of the buyer
3) Securities sold
- The images of the titles do not always correspond to the titles sold. The buyer is therefore not guaranteed to receive the number of the title broadcast.
- The quality specified in the auction announcement is the correct quality of the title offered for sale. There may therefore be a difference in quality between the title offered for sale and the title presented in the image (better or worse); This is because not all titles offered for sale are systematically scanned and archival images are used.
- We use the international system of quality evaluation of a title. Annotations of a + or - are sometimes taken to inform an intermediate state. We sometimes add remarks that may have an influence on the price, see: evaluation system
4) Authenticity of securities

The Association is authorized to defend the rights of the seller and to act on his behalf according to the orders he has given. Until full payment by the buyer, the title(s) sold remain the property of the seller. At no time does the Association own the property.
5) Price used for auctions
- The Euro is the only currency used for auctions.
- The price mentioned for the lot presented is the starting price, no bid at a lower price will not be accepted, the price must be a whole number (no order with cents).
