To be in the auction room live by internet during the auction – it works like this:

Peter Rapp AG automatically grants you for the online live bidding a bid limit of CHF 30'000. If you know in advance that this standard bid limit will be insufficient for your bids, please let us know in due time.

Information on the Placement of Online Live Bids
From the 2008 Rapp Auction (24 to 27 November) Peter Rapp AG offers you the opportunity to place your bids live through the world wide web wherever you are. Bid live, even from afar, as if you were sitting in the auction room. All you need for participation is a web access and a JAVA-capable computer. If this is the first time you intend to place online live bids in an auction, we suggest that you use the simulator to get used to the system. Please find the simulator at the bottom of this site.

Technical Requirements
1. Cookies must be accepted for the „rapp-auktionen.ch“ domain.
2. Java must be activated. Please make sure that your computer has the latest JAVA software installed. If this is not the case, please use the free JAVA download >>here<<. Trouble-free functioning of our bidding system requires up-to-date JAVA software.

Online Live Bidding – Step by Step
1. Before you actually start online live bidding, get acquainted with the system and the way it works. We recommend a short practice session with the simulator on this site.?
2. Register for participation and assign yourself a user name and a password. Please also communicate to us the number(s) of the lot(s) or the range of lots you intend to bid for. Registration must be affected one day before the auction commences. For later registrations, access cannot be guaranteed. Your registration must be approved, and access to the bidding system must be authorized, by Peter Rapp AG. Therefore, you will receive an e-mail confirmation in due course, which must be re-confirmed by you. Please register only once for the auction.
3. Upon confirmation, each online live bidder will be granted a bid limit of CHF 30'000. If you wish to raise that limit, please send us an e-mail accordingly. That new bid limit is also subject to approval and confirmation through e-mail.
4. Your computer must be active in time for the scheduled auction dates and times. Please take possible time differences into account. Insert your user name and password to register for actual participation in the auction.?
5. Each auction lot will be called out and auctioned individually in the auction room.?
6. As soon as „your“ lot is up for auction and displayed on your computer screen, press the „BID“ button. This sends a signal to the auction room indicating your interest in placing an online live bid.
7. GOING, GOING, GONE will be sequentially displayed on the computer screen. As soon as you see the first GOING, you must send your bid.?
8. If several internet bids are placed simultaneously, only the one received first will be shown. Should your bid not be the first one, it won’t be shown on your screen. You then would have to place a new, higher bid immediately.
9. The full GOING, GOING, GONE display indicates that the respective lot has been knocked down to a floor, phone or internet bidder. If your bid is shown on the screen then – congratulations, you won the lot!
