Help concerning bid increments

General information

What is a bid increment?

A bid increment is the amount by which a bidder has to outbid the currently highest bid.
Bid increments are determined for certain amounts, i.e. the first increment is 5€ for the rangeof 0€ to 50€ or 10€ for the range of 50€ to 200€. Bids that do not accord with the increments will not be accepted by the auction house.
In general, the range of bid increments is 10% of the maximum amount for this range of increments (5€ increment up to and including a maximum amout of 50€. example:
The current bid for a lot is 15€ and the bid increment is 5€, which means that the bidder has to offer at least 20€.
However, it is also possible to bid the other steps within this increment range of up to 50€, e.g. 25€, 30€, 35€, etc.
. The bidder cannot offer 55€, as, starting with 50€ the required increment is 10€. The next bid in this example would be 60€.

What is the first bid increment?
