Expected award price

likely award for this notice, from its published estimate of €396,832
€218,257 to €396,832

This buyer's comparable awards in this sector came in at a median of 86% of their published estimate, half of them between 55% and 100%, based on 140 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.
