Service and let TIME work FOR you..

Consignment is much better than an Auction!
If you have time to liquidate your items then
consider comparing the two options.
If you don't have time to sell, then by all
means, sell at auction, we get many of our best buys there!

Storage Fee charged weekly -FEE
Why are YOU paying a storage fee? it's not as if your items
forced the auctioneer to purchase additional storage space?
Storage is just a part of their business. They need to maintain
storage space just to stay in business. |
Your item is not being STORED, it's being SOLD!
No Storage Fees, ever while item is on sale -FREE |

Insurance Fee (up to 5%) -FEE
Many auctioneers actually make money off their "insurance
fee". If you have $30,000 of insured items each
week, that's over $1,000/week in "fees". Yet they
only need to keep $50,000 insurance coverage per year, and this
costs only a few thousand dollars/year. |
We take care of our customer's stock, and it is covered in
our standard store coverage for theft, damage, & fire.
Insurance is included - FREE

We feature your item in the STORE, on Ebay, our Website (over
2 million hits/year), and at any Antiques shows/markets
we attend. (Kempenfest, etc.) -FREE |

| Your item may sell for well below market value, even below wholesale,
in fact, almost given away. |
Your item will be sold for a known price. We sell retail,
and wholesale, in some cases world-wide. You never risk giving
it away. |

Consignment |
| An auction is often the last sale venue for an item. |
If an item doesn't sell, there is always time to move it to an
auction, and we can place it in the most appropriate auction at
preferred rates, still ensuring you get best prices. |
| Auction |
Consignment |
| Excellent resource for liquidating assets quickly
at, or below, wholesale prices. Rarely do you get full value, but
it does all sell immediately. |
Excellent resource for SELLING your
items, with leisure and confidence. Wouldn't you rather SELL
than liquidate? |
| Auction |
Consignment |
| You will wait for payments up to 40 days after the SALE is held.
|
We release payments first of every month. Even if an item sell
on the 27th day of this month, payment is made on the 1st business
day of the next month. In some cases this may mean you get
paid 5 days after an item is SOLD. We don't play with your
money, it's yours. |
