Bidding


Every record in our auctions has a minimum bid in Euro (EUR) noted by MB. We accept bids in US$ too. Obviously, you may bid the minimum or more. I suggest to introduce the maximum amount you are willing to pay for each item. Please note that there are no "reserves" or "buyer´s premium" in our auctions.

Simply explained, if you are the high bidder when the auction ends, what you bid on the item is what you pay.

Ways to submit your bids:

1. In the auction catalogue by clicking    (we encourage you to use this method)
2. Email: auction@carlosmb.com
3. Tel: (34) 630 058 687 (06 AM to 06 PM, Eastern Standard Time)
4. Fax: (34) 913 178 363 (24 hours)
5. Regular mail: carlosmb, San Luciano 3 - sot 1, Madrid 28041, Spain

All bids must include your name, Ref, Artist, Catalogue and your maximum bid. If you do not receive a confirmation e-mail within 24 hours, please send again your bids.
You may modify or cancel a bid at any time before the close of the auction. No bid retractions will be accepted after the close of the auction.
You may place a limit on your bidding. We will limit your total winning bids to the amount you state, but you must include your lot preferences. Once your limit is reached, the remaining bids will be deleted.
 



  Payment

Payment may be made in Euros or US dollars, at your choice
All payments must be received within 30 days from the auction close.
For large amounts, if you would prefer to pay over a given period of time, let me know and we will consider your suggestions.
Likewise, if you win just a few records, we can hold these records until our next auction to make a single shipment. In this case, you would pay just the bid amount.
