Each auction purchase is subject to a Buyer's Premium of 5% of the hammer price, with a minimum fee of DKK 100 and a maximum fee of DKK 5,000. In addition, a handling fee of DKK 300 per lot applies.
Before confirming your bid, you will always be shown the total amount payable, including all fees and VAT.
The reservation price is the minimum price accepted by the seller.
If the reservation price is met, the item is sold to the highest bidder. If the reservation price is not met, Kapow will negotiate between the highest bidder and the seller. All bids remain legally binding for up to 48 hours after the auction has ended and the seller may choose to accept your highest bid even if the reservation price has not been met.
Foreign buyers are required to pay Danish VAT when purchasing through Kapow Auctions. As Kapow acts as an intermediary between buyer and seller, Danish and EU VAT regulations require proof that the machinery has been exported from Denmark before VAT can be refunded. An Export Declaration document is sent together with the invoice.
Yes. Once the machinery has left Denmark and Kapow has received the complete set of required export documents, the VAT can be refunded. The complete set of required export documents is required as proof of export.
If Kapow does not receive the required export documents, Danish VAT cannot be refunded through Kapow. Any VAT recovery must then be handled by the buyer through their own VAT refund process.
Monthly Auctions
Our monthly auctions are held on the first Sunday of every month and feature a wide selection of used machinery and equipment. For machinery located at our facilities in Herning, a physical inspection day is arranged on the Friday before the auction closes.
Onsite Auctions
Onsite auctions are held throughout the year and may include business closures, insolvencies, relocations, stock reductions and similar situations. The machinery is typically located at a specific site and often originates from the same operation. A physical inspection day is arranged before the auction closes, typically on the Friday prior to the auction end date.
