Software for antiquarian booksellers

Your web shop and your auctions, in six languages, from one stock.

A secondhand bookshop sells books there is only one of. A copy is on the shelf, then it is gone, and the website has to know at once.

Antiquaro is built around that. It runs your web shop in six languages, holds your auctions when you have one, and writes your invoices and catalogues, all from the same stock.

Every copy is the only one

A book is reserved the moment it is ordered, and shows as sold on every page at once.

Auctions, when you hold one

Switch them on in the settings. Bidders scroll thousands of lots in one list, without paging.

  1. Prepare

    Lots, photos, the premium and the order of the sale go in, out of sight.

  2. Open

    The sale is online. Bidders search, keep a bidding list and send their bids.

  3. Start

    The sale runs in the room, lot by lot.

    Lots are knocked down only here.
  4. Pause

    The room breaks. Resume and it starts where it stopped.

  5. End

    The hammer falls for the last time.
