PRIORITY COMMISSION BIDS / PRIORITY BIDDING – 10% DISCOUNT

Cabral Moncada Leilões will offer a 10% discount on the buyer’s commission for early commission bids - commission bids received and registered at Cabral Moncada Leilões www.cml.liveauctions.pt bidding platform for a given lot until 11:59 pm on the Friday preceding the Monday on which the live auctions are held.

Please note that this discount:

  1. applies only to our live auctions, not to our online-only auctions;
  2. applies both to traditional commission bid forms signed and received as well as to commission bids received electronically, but in both cases only if they are registered at the Cabral Moncada Leilões www.cml.liveauctions.pt bidding platform and, among these, only to those received within the deadline indicated above;
  3. once a commission bid has been received under these terms and within the established deadline - a priority commission bid - the 10% discount (excluding VAT) remains valid and is owed even in the cases where the bidder later wins the item at auction for an amount higher than their initial priority purchase order.

Hoping to have the pleasure of welcoming you soon, in person or virtually, with our best regards,

 

Pedro Maria de Alvim                  Miguel Cabral de Moncada
