The auctioneer conducts the auction.
There are two auction types :
A sale can be described as an auction when anybody is free to participate, under the sole condition of his solvency.
Everybody is able to hear all the offers made, and can thus outbid. The object presented is won by the highest bidder.
Any bid has to be equal to or higher than the starting price, or must be higher than the one proposed by a competitor for the purchase of the thing.
The amount of every bid is repeated out loud by the auctioneer so that every bidder can hear it.
This way, auctions are an objective and automatic mode of designation of a price and a purchaser.
The purchase order corresponds to a specific maximum amount in euros up to which the auctioneer is mandated to buy the item. The auctioneer buys the item on behalf of his client, in accordance with the instructions of the purchase order form. The auctioneer aims to purchase the item at the lowest possible price and still under the maximum price his client has set.
The auctions being "public", they are open to anyone who can bid, i.e to any creditworthy person.
The place where the sale takes place is public. The auctioneer ensures the free access to the sale.
The restrictions to participate in an auction are those of common law : non-emancipated minors, protected adults, people under the influence of alcohol.
The auctioneer may subject the participation to a prior registration and the presentation of a guarantee of payment, these conditions being objective, non-discriminatory and appropriate.
