Hi Marc,
The price mentioned is the opening bid, that is how it works with online auctions. Also is mentioned
Minimum next bid
example here:
https://en.bva-auctions.com/auction/lot/28725/9900655
Opening bid € 500,-
Minimum next bid € 530,-
Please note! some lots have 0% VAT as the case in example above
It's also very normal on all online auction websites the additional costs of auction fee and VAT. That is different from trading companies (or fixed prices) but the start prices in online auctions are therefor lower than in other cases.
If you have any further questions please send us an email at:

Kind regards,
BVA Auctions
