E-Auction 43 Lot 267

Gerard van Loon. Medallic History of the Low Countries. This was originally published in Dutch and in French in the 19th century in a large format and was difficult to find (particularly in French). It has now been translated into English with photographic plates of the detailed line image engravings of the original editions and some modern photographic color plates have been added. The set is in four volumes, 1551-1602, 1602-1667, 1667-1691, 1691-1716. (Many English medals are also cross-listed in van Loon.) This set of four volumes with nearly 2000 pages is currently available online for just over $280 (from Belgium). (This is a new set that UPS left out in the rain even though there is a sign indicating where parcels should be left.) Volume I shows a bit of water staining (a slight darkening of the red), a lightly wrinkled back cover and some pages with wrinkling around the edges, Vol II shows a bit of stain and a slightly curled cover. Vol III has some water stain on the cover. Vol. IV is like Vol. I though the front cover that has the wrinkles and stain. My set was replaced by the publishers. Proceeds from this lot will be donated to the American Numismatic Association..

How Bidding Works

 

How Bidding Works

 

Davissons Ltd uses a soft close for its auctions, which means no lot closes until everyone is done bidding. Every time a bid is placed within the final 40 seconds of a lot closing, the timer is reset to 40 seconds. This continues until no bids are placed for 40 seconds, at which point the lot closes. There will never be more than one lot closing at once, as the next lot is not allowed to begin closing until the current lot closes.

To bid: enter your maximum bid into the text box, and click submit. Only round dollar amounts are accepted. You are then required to confirm your bid. Once confirmed, all bids are final. If you have placed a bid in error you must call during office hours and speak to one of us. If you are the current high bidder then it will display “Current High Bidder: YOU” If you are not the high bidder, or if you are not logged in, then the current high bidder will be identified by their 5 digit client ID. You may find your client ID under the Account tab.

Bids are reduced automatically, so feel free to bid your maximum and it will be reduced to one increment over the current high bid. If a user places a bid that is higher than necessary to be the current high bidder on the lot, the displayed bid will reflect one advance over the next lower bid. For example, if a user "A" places a bid of $120 on a lot which opens at $100, "A" will be winning that lot at $100. If another user "B" bids $110, the winning bidder will be "A" at $120, one advance over the supporting bid of $110. If user "B" in this example instead placed a bid at $120, then user "A" will still be winning at $120 because they placed that maximum bid value first.

Increments can be viewed here. The next bid will always be on the next increment, so if a user is winning a lot at $100, or $105, or $109, the next bid will still always be $110.
