Consign with Public Sale
From Single Items to Entire Estates
Simple process: We handle all consignment requests in a timely manner via email. Please send clear photos of the items you would like to consign (or fill out the form below) along with any pertinent information about the items, as well as your address and if you need to have the items picked up or if you can deliver them.
Thorough cleaning: Our crew will bring your items up to a reasonable standard of cleanliness. We have chemicals and tools that are formulated specifically for each material that we encounter. We never remove original labels or correct desirable patina.
Professional photography: We use high-quality, professional grade lighting, backgrounds, cameras, and techniques to ensure your items are represented accurately and fairly in our online listings.
Accurate listings: Public Sale is in the 96th percentile for accuracy amongst LiveAuctioneers sellers. All of the items we sell are thoroughly researched, measured, and inspected before they go on sale.
Large audience: By representing items on four online platforms, as well as offering a weeklong in-house preview, in-house phone and absentee bids, and by advertising in relevant publications, Public Sale maintains a large bidding audience, resulting in price-inflating bidding wars. Your items will receive a large amount of exposure both before and during the auction.
Simple, transparent payments: Consignors receive payments in the form of a check mailed to a previously agreed upon delivery address with a simple but thorough breakdown of the price realized for all items sold, along with the commission percentage and amount due.
