If someone bids when an auction at Klaravik has less than three minutes left, the auction is extended by another three minutes. This is to give other bidders a chance to counterbid and not to shut out other bidders. This is established in online auctions and can be compared to the first and second principles of the hammer auction.

To place a bid, you need to be logged in to Klaravik.

An auto bid is a way for you to automatically participate in a bidding process. You enter an amount you are willing to pay for an item and then automatic bids are placed for you up to your maximum bid - but only if necessary. Your maximum bid is hidden from other bidders during the auction. Placed auto bids are indicated by an "A" after the placed bid in the bid history. You need to update a manual bid every time someone outbids you. Keep in mind that an auto bid in the same level as a later manual bid will always lead the auction - because it was placed first.

The general Value Added Tax in Finland is being increased as a result of a law change from 24 percent to 25,5 percent starting from September 1st 2024. The change will also affect the VAT on the items sold at our auctions, as well as the VAT on buyer's premium.

The VAT rate applicable to an auction will be determined by the date of invoice creation of the won auction. If you win an auction at the end of August, please remember to create an invoice in your User Account by August 31st and the VAT rate of 24% will apply to your invoice. For invoices created from September 1st onwards, the new rate of 25.5% will apply, regardless of when the auction ended.

Invoices created before September 1st but not paid can still be paid at the old rate according to Klaravik's payment schedule.

The change does not require any further action on your part as an auction site user.

We will be happy to answer any and all further questions at +358 3 520 444 (weekdays 8.30-16.30, UTC+3) or at info@klaravik.fi
