How to Sell at Auction

Selling at Auction How to Sell at Auction

If you’d like to sell an item or collection then please contact us to discuss our services and commission rates. Please note that entries have to be in at least five weeks prior to the auction to allow for lotting up, photographs and advertising of the sale.

Generally, this is the standard process for selling your items in one of our auctions:

  1. After booking a valuation with us, one of our valuers will give you advice on estimates and reserve prices. You will also receive a receipt for the items you leave with us.
  2. Before the sale, you will receive a pre-sale advice note and catalogue of the sale.
  3. 4-5 weeks after the auction, we will transfer your auction earnings and a statement of your items that have sold. Should some of your items not sell, we will automatically enter them into our next suitable sale.
  4. If items remain unsold after two auctions, we will contact you to collect your items. If these items are unwanted, we will donate them to charity* for you.

All of our auctions are exceptionally well-advertised in relevant publications, bidding platforms and media outlets both nationally and internationally. Together with our reputation as experts in our field, your collectables are in the right hands to meet their highest potential.
