I think I won with my bid. Too bad one cannot see the original listings.

try going to the main page:

http://www.artcurial.com/en/


Then click on "Search", then "Search Archives". The pop-down menu should have the Hermès sale already displayed. Then click View. You should then be able to see the lots and the final prices, if the lot sold.

 

[Polaremil]

Sorry, the prices and the original listings can be found in the archives. The sale prices include buyer's premium and tax.

I sure hope you are right! Pre-gratulations

 

[LailaT]

Polaremil, i think the prices that show are hammer prices (before premium)
Anyway, what did you get???!!!
Did anyone here get the blue tri-color Kelly (3188 euros)?

 

[Polaremil]

Nope, it says that they include buyer's premium and tax. If this is the case, according to my math, I won the bracelet with two horseheads, lot 384. If not, :cry:. In general, the prices seem reasonable to me. A lot of Kellies, especially croc for good prices (of course we don't know the condition). Why anyone paid more than retail for lot 230 is a mystery to me. Not to mention the bath towels that went for something like 700 euros:wondering. I really hope the tricolour Kelly went to a PFer, great buy.

Sniff, sniff. I did not win the red alligator constance!

 

[Suzie]

^ Or maybe I did if it includes everything (buyers premium & tax)??

 

[callmelulu]

darn! i didn't win. oh well it was fun to play. i hope you gals were the lucky winners after all!

the buyers premium and taxes come to 27.508% of hammer price for items below €15,000. so take prices on their results page, and divide by 1.27508.

i found out i won one of the belts, but too small for me! i need to bring it to hermes shop and buy another belt to go with the buckle.
