Help · Writing lots

An estimate is a low and a high figure, entered in the sale's currency. Type the plain number, such as 200 and 300; the sale already knows whether it is pounds, dollars or euros. A currency sign or a thousands comma is accepted and ignored. Money is kept to the penny, so 200.50 stays 200.50, and a figure with more than two decimal places is refused rather than rounded.

The rules, so a typing slip does not reach the printer:

• The low estimate cannot be above the high one. Lotdesk asks you to swap them.
• An estimate below 1.00 or above 1,000,000 is treated as a typo and refused.
• A lot can be written with one figure or none and added to later; both are needed before it can go in the catalogue.
• A lot with no estimate cannot go into the catalogue. It stays being written and prints with "no estimate yet" until you add one. See What a lot's state means.

The estimate prints at the end of the catalogue line in square brackets, and comes out in the Low estimate, High estimate and Currency columns of the CSV.

If you change a sale's currency after lots are written, the figures stay as typed and are read in the new currency. Change the currency only when the first one was chosen by mistake, and check the estimates afterwards.
