Following a bid
Click on 'My bids' in your account details. You will be shown which works of art you have bid on. You
can also follow here whether you are still the highest bidder.
PLEASE NOTE: the overview of bids does not refresh automatically. For the most up-to-date overview you have to reload the page yourself.
The increment of the bid that you can make depends on the amount of the bid that is currently
available for the object in question. For example, if there is a bid of €50,- the next bid will be at least
€2,50 higher. When the most recent bid is €1500,- the next bid will be at least €50, - higher. The
higher the most recent bid, the larger the step size for the next bid.
Bid increments
If someone makes a higher bid, the bid is automatically increased: this is called a bid increment. The exact amount by which the bid will increase depends on the amount of the current bid. These are the agreements:

If someone bids in the last 5 minutes before closing, we extend the closing time for that artwork by 5
minutes. Will there be another offer? Then there is another extension. This way we prevent people
from waiting until the last minute to bid.
