Some Facts About Buying With Tarisio

Many of the lots in each auction are offered for sale subject to a reserve. The reserve is a confidential minimum price agreed upon by both Tarisio and the consignor, below which the lot will not be sold. Although the exact amount of the reserve is confidential, in no case will the reserve be greater than the low estimate although often it will be equal to that amount. When the reserve has been reached or exceeded, an indication of Reserve Met appears on the lot’s description in the online catalog.

Buyers are responsible for the costs of shipping and shipping insurance.

Buyers are reminded that a premium will be added to the final bid price for each lot. This premium is equal to twenty per cent (20%) of the hammer price up to and including two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000), plus twelve per cent (12%) of the amount exceeding two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000). For London sales, the threshold is one hundred thousand pounds (£100,000).
