When you consign an item to be included in one of our auctions, we get right to work on determining a starting price for a live or online consignment auction. Our qualified appraisers carefully evaluate items every week and look for recent comparable sales. We evaluate cars, trucks, SUVs tractors, heavy equipment, video games, vintage audio equipment, antiques, furniture and much, much more. We’ll answer any questions you may have and let you know what we think your item will go for at auction and our associated fees so you have a complete understanding of the process. You can bring your items to us, or we can arrange to send a staff member to collect them if you prefer.
Our staff works hard at marketing our consignment auctions using social media, our e-newsletter and cold-calling people who might be interested using our database of thousands of clients. We’ll discuss which auction type would be best for your item; a live or online auction. We will get your items in front of far more people than you would be able to using traditional selling techniques.
Live Consignment Auction Day Our staff starts live auction day at the crisp hour of 4:30am. We double check all of our advertising to make sure we have great directions to our auction house. We double check that our parking lot is ready to receive the crowd, everything is arranged properly, all items are tagged, the floors are clean, the chairs are lined up and the bathrooms are spotless. We put out signage on auction day to make sure and attract passersby that didn’t hear about the auction for some reason. We have staff in position to monitor all auction items closely to make sure attendees are respectful and careful when inspecting them prior to the auction’s start. During the auction our auctioneers work hard to energize the crowd and keep the pace of bidding fast and electric. After the auction we typically have two load-out days when bidders can collect any item they couldn’t carry out on auction day.
If you choose to list your item for one of our regular online auctions the item will be open to bid on once the online auction starts. We typically run auctions for seven to ten days total to allow enough time for people to place multiple bids and ensure we get the most money for your item. We monitor the auction constantly and answer any questions bidders might have via phone or email. You can watch the auction on our site but keep in mind that most bidding activity happens within the last five hours of the auction – that’s when the fun really starts!
Once your item sells we’ll send you an invoice within 72 hours of the sale. When you approve it we’ll get a check to you within 10 business days.
