Alcopa Auction offers you the option to buy a used car in an auction centre without being physically present at the auction. Indeed, you can instruct Alcopa Auction to issue a max bid for the used vehicle of your choice on your behalf during the auction. This is possible in each of our 7 auction centres (Beauvais, Paris Sud, Rennes, Nancy, Tours, Lyon and Marseille).
Consequently, as the vehicle passes, the auctioneer will place your bids on your behalf. Taking into account the maximum amount that you have quoted, he will place the bids in competition with those placed in the auction room, and up to your max bid if necessary.
Example : Your max bid is €5000 incl. of tax and the opening bid is €4500 incl. of tax. If the best offer in the room stops at €4600, the auctioneer will bid up for you at €4700 and the vehicle is sold to you.
Note: Given that it is a physical sale and Alcopa LIVE, the auction fees must then be added to the hammer price. The fee is 12% excl. of tax, i.e. 14.4% incl. of tax (with a minimum of €360 incl. of tax, i.e. €300 excl. of tax) + €125 incl. of tax for private individuals.
