Expected award price
- likely award for this notice, from its published estimate of €343,000
- €329,280 to €367,010
This buyer's comparable awards in this sector came in at a median of 100% of their published estimate, half of them between 96% and 107%, based on 11 awards of the last 3 years.
Each award is compared with the estimate of the same lots, framework agreements excluded. A published estimate may include options and renewals, so an award under it is not always a discount.
