auctions
The whole phrase, talking about an auction procedure, is as follows:
"Le offerte in aumento non potranno essere inferiori ad € 10.000,00; ".
What it means in the context (it is expressed badly, I know, but you'll just have to trust me on this) is that each new bid must be at least €10,000 higher than the previous one - bids rise in scatti (and this in a sense is the word I'm groping for) of multiples of €10,000. I could just write that, but I'm sure there's some technical, and definitely more elegant way of putting it that's eluding my tired brain. Any help much appreciated!

higher bids
this adds nothing to what's being said in the Italian, and takes away nothing.

i.e. "higher bids cannot be less than € 10,000.00" (you'll notice I've changed that annoying Italian point/comma for thousands and decimals, with the English comma/point)

bid rises by €10k or higher
oppure "bid rises under €10k are not permitted"
Il tuo "rise" in english già representa entrambi "l'aumento" e "il scatto" perchè è quantificato con il minimo di 10 mila Euro.
