How to Sell:
Whether you have something to sell at auction for the first time, or are an experienced seller, we’ve put together this step by step guide about how we work. We aim to make the whole process as straightforward and hassle free as possible – whilst ensuring that you get the best possible price for your items.
If you have something that you would like to sell, please get in touch with us, either using our valuation form or by calling us on 44 (0) 20 3633 0913
At this point we will explain to you our terms and conditions, fee structures and the next auction dates. There is no pressure to commit there and then – we know that often conversations need to be had with other involved parties or family members.
If and when terms are agreed then we take away your items to be catalogued, researched and photographed. We then advertise and promote the sale and the individual items.
