What has changed on the site!

consignor center
Bill Gates in his office in 1995.  - The first Paulus Swaen online auction was held in 1998.

We have run now online auctions for 23 years and this is the third time we start a website from scratch.! The old version was used for 10 years and a lot has changed since.

First and most important security; we are now using the latest software versions. Although we do not store your credit card details or other personal information other than your billing and mailing address we do not like the idea of having a data breach.

Password reset
The new software switch made is necessary for you to reset your password. In order to log on and bid you first have to visit the Forgot/Reset Password link and type your Username and Password so the system can send you an email permitting you to re-set your password.
In the case, you do not remember your Username you may use the Forgot Username link.

Please contact us if you do not receive the reset password email within 5 minutes and we will manually confirm your account.

Please contact us if you want to change your old Username for perhaps a more anonymous or funny one.
Remember we do show the high bidder's Username during the bidding process so everyone can see who the high bidder is!

If you haven't signed up yet you can sign-up here.

Mobile-friendly
with more users browsing the web on a phone or tablet a website should be responsive to the viewers' device.
