How to sell

Works Evaluations

Gigarte releases free of charge evaluations of artworks with relevant proposal for the sell in auction. A provisional evaluation can be made on the basis of photographic material that can be sent as per follows:

Mandate to sell

The mandate to sell is the contract through which the owner of one or more objects gives the auction house Gigarte the right to sell according to the conditions contained in it. This contract is drawn up in duplicate at the time of the assignment and is valid for a period of 90 days. In case the good, once the assignment has been given to Gigarte and subsequently awarded during the auction, will be sold to third parties by the owner himself and - therefore no longer available - the principal who has acted in violation of the agreement is required to pay Gigarte the share of the award.

Starting Price

The Starting Price for each Lot will be agreed before the auction. The starting price corresponds to the minimum amount which the lot cannot be sold.

Commissions

The commissions due to the auction house are 15% to be calculated on the award price. Gigarte reserves the right to lower or increase the above commission, if it deems appropriate in agreement with the principal.

Shipping Cost

The Packaging and Shipping cost is always in charge to the principal who is entitled to take out insurance.

Resale right

An additional percentage will be applied to the artworks subject to the resale right as follows: 4% for award price between € 3,000.00 and € 50. 000.00; 3% for award price between euro 50,000.01 and euro 200,000.00; 1% for award price between euro 200,000.01 and euro 350,000.00; 0.5% for award price between euro 350,000.01 and euro 500,000.00; 0.25% for award price higher than euro 500,000.00. The total amount of the compensation cannot be in any case higher than euro 12,500.00.

Unsold lots

If requested by the principal, the auction house may place the unsold lots in a subsequent auction on condition that the auction base is lowered.

Come riscuotere

• Metodi di pagamento

  Le opere vendute possono essere liquidate al committente attraverso bonifico bancario o assegno circolare (altre forme di pagamento verranno concordate con Gigarte caso per caso).

• Termini di pagamento

  Le opere vendute saranno liquidate al committente entro 30 giorni dall'incasso da parte del cliente, salvo situazioni specifiche e pratiche burocratice e/o legali che si rendessero necessarie per il completamento dell'assegnazione del lotto all'aggiudicatario. L'instaurarsi di tali pratiche verrà tempestivamente comunicata da Gigarte al mandante.
  
  Per tutti i lotti per i quali si rendesse necessario ovvero il cliente aggiudicatario richiedesse l'espletamento della procedura di rilascio dell'attestato di libera circolazione da parte della soprintendenza e/o di altra autorità italiana e/o estera, i tempi di pagamento potranno variare in ragione delle tempistiche di rilascio di tale documentazione, indipendenti da Gigarte. Il mandante, nell'ottica di velocizzare tali pratiche è tenuto a fornire a Gigarte, con la massima sollecitudine, tutta la documentazione integrativa riguardante l'opera eventualmente richiesta dalle autorità preposte per la definizione della formalità.
  
  Il saldo al mandante sarà, in ogni caso, effettuato al termine della procedura di rilascio dell'attestato di libera circolazione da parte della soprintendenza e/o di altra autorità italiana e/o estera.

• Commissioni e spese

  Verranno dedotte direttamente al momento del pagamento.

Technical and force majeure problems

• Suspension or temporary interruption

  In the event of temporary interruptions during the live auction (e.g. technical problems that can be resolved on the same day), Gigarte may temporarily suspend the auction, with all bids registered up to the time of the interruption remaining valid. The auction will resume as soon as possible and Gigarte will inform all participants in good time.

• Final cancellation or rescheduling

  Should an auction be permanently interrupted due to technical problems that cannot be resolved on the same day or due to events of force majeure, all lots that have already been awarded will be considered closed and awarded to the highest bidder. Unallocated lots, including the current lot, will be included in a new auction, which will be scheduled within the next 30 days.

• Reopening of tenders

  Fino alla data della nuova asta, i lotti interessati dall’interruzione saranno nuovamente disponibili per la ricezione delle offerte online. During the new live session, the lots will be auctioned and closed in the usual manner.

• Limitations of liability

  Gigarte cannot be held liable for any damages or losses resulting from technical problems, platform malfunctions, network interruptions or other circumstances beyond its control, including force majeure. Participation in the auctions implies acceptance of these conditions.
