Global reach
Postage stamps capture history and stories in miniature form. Through the way these often exceptional items are auctioned worldwide, we have made history ourselves – as pioneers and trailblazers of global online auction reach. In 2006, Heinrich Köhler became the first German stamp auction house to introduce online live bidding.
Full bidding control with maximum data security
Heinrich Köhler has consistently developed its own user-friendly, high-performance specialist software, continuously enhanced with new features. Encrypted data transmission via secure servers ensures the highest level of data protection and complete anonymity. You retain full control over your bids and can respond flexibly at any time.
Live bidding in three simple steps
Detailed guide and FAQ
1. Register
You need a user account with us to use the live bidding feature. Please note that you must register at least 24 hours in advance. After that, we can unfortunately no longer guarantee access to live bidding for technical reasons.
2. Request Credit Limit
You must request a credit limit from us no later than 24 hours before the auction. This defines the maximum amount up to which you may bid. To do so, you must be registered with us.
The credit limit cannot be changed or requested during the auction and cannot be exceeded while bidding.
3. Bid
Once steps 1 and 2 are completed, you can log in for live bidding. Please note that this is only possible during the auction.
The display on your screen is decisive for the hammer price, not the audio transmission.
We recommend using the Chrome browser.
