Although bids start on Tuesday, September 24, it is recommended to register as of now to this link: https://tarisio.com/auctions/register-to-bid/?csid=2200076288

The reason for the delay between now and the beginning of the bids is because Tarisio gives the opportunity of “first in, last out” where the first and last bidders on a given Lot pay an 18% commission instead of 20% of the hammer price.
