Can I bid from abroad?
Yes. Our auctions are fully accessible to participants in Europe and worldwide. Thanks to multiple bidding options, you can participate safely and reliably, regardless of your location.

‍Bidding options for international participants:
  1. Live online bidding via our own environment: auctions.schulman.nl. This allows you to follow the auction in real time and make bids immediately.
  2. Written bids submitted by email or through recognised international platforms such as NumisBids and Sixbid; your bids are processed discreetly in advance.
  3. Telephone bidding for higher-value lots (from 1000 euros). You can reserve a telephone line beforehand, after which a staff member will call you during the lot in the auction room.
Are lots shipped worldwide

For large or heavy packages that have a different size, a special shipping method may be required. In that case, we will inform you in advance about the additional costs and options.
