Betreibungs- und Konkursamt Basel-Stadt
- Access not confirmed
Swiss debt enforcement is cantonal, and each canton's Betreibungs- und Konkursamt disposes of what it seizes. Basel-Stadt runs two channels from this page: a continuous stream of movable goods sold online, and scheduled auctions of land and buildings. The online side runs on eGant, the shared Swiss platform also used by other cantonal offices.
What you can buy
- Cars and bicycles.
- Watches and jewellery.
- Antiques, pictures and furniture.
- Household goods and electronics.
- Land and buildings, through separate scheduled auctions.
How the bidding works
The office states its conditions plainly, and they are strict. Everything is sold ab Platz — as it stands, where it stands — with no warranty at all on legal or physical defects, on condition, or even on the accuracy of the description. Goods can be inspected briefly without an appointment on working days between 07:30 and 09:00. There are no test drives on vehicles. Collection is free within ten working days of the hammer, weekday mornings between 07:30 and 09:00, by appointment and against cash payment.
What to check before you bid
The collection window is the thing that catches people: ten working days, mornings only, in person, in cash. If you cannot make that, do not bid. The stated absence of any warranty extends to the description itself, so the ninety-minute morning viewing is the only real due diligence available. The site is in German.
