How To Consign
Applying is quick and easy:
Contact us with information about your collection. This will allow us to go over our rates and the best options for consignment with you. Right now we are accepting most items for auction, but some things perform better than others. We recommend browsing our Completed Auctions to get a better idea.
To consign items with us, we require a completed Consignment Form and scan of a valid photo ID. Forms are available at our office, they can also be requested via email.
Book an appointment with one of our staff members to have your items brought into the warehouse! Please try to have as much as you can put into boxes & bins to make unloading simpler.
That’s it! We handle the rest. Photos, pricing, selling, customer questions, shipping and payment. Expect your first batch of items to be live for auction within weeks of them being dropped off. If you want detailed information about your lots and our auction schedule, we are available Monday - Friday to answer any questions you have.
Receive your cheque and detailed invoice in the mail within two weeks of the auction closing, or come pick it up from our office once it’s ready.
Reach out today to start your application!
