Sell with us:
Vendors are invited to bring lots in on the Tuesday & Wednesday after the fortnightly auction for acceptance in the following sale, please ring the week before to discuss what you have and to book an appointment (please be prompt), as a guide we are looking for a minimum value of £30 per catalogued lot. We are always happy to offer free estimates on items and can fix a reserve price on items over the value of £30 if both parties are happy. As well as telephone, you can use our Contact Us page or email images of lots you are interested in selling and we can then determine whether your lots are suitable for auction.
We do receive a huge amount of emails every week and we will always give each one our full attention but if you are selling something we do not think is for us, we may not have time to get back to you and we apologise for this but we really appreciate the time you have taken to send to us. If you've sent us something we believe we can sell we will be in touch as soon as possible.
