A reseller’s checklist for each Catawiki alert

Resale value: what have similar pieces sold for in your own shop, stall or online channel? Total cost: winning bid, Catawiki’s buyer’s fee, shipping and, if the seller is abroad, possible import charges. Condition: what does the condition report say, and what do the photos show that the text does not? Seller: what is the rating? Time: how long will this item sit before it sells?

A lot that passes all five gets a maximum bid written next to it. That calculation needs a calm moment, which an alert on the first day of a multi-day auction provides.

Where the margin in auction buying comes from

Lots that are miscategorised, described modestly or listed in a quiet week sometimes close below what they fetch elsewhere. Spotting them depends on seeing many lots in your niche without browsing for hours. Narrow searches by maker, period or object type bring those lots to you; your judgement does the rest.

We alert you about new lots on searches you built; there is no bulk export and no price data beyond what the lot shows.

An inbox that works as a buying log

Mail rules can sort each search into its own folder, and replying to yourself with a maximum bid creates a record of what you planned. Search the inbox later by maker to see what came up and what you passed on.

Your mail provider decides where messages land; after the first alert check spam, mark it as wanted and add the sender. Each mail carries an unsubscribe link.
