Consignment Information

Anyone can consign items to auction. You may have one item to consign, or perhaps you have hundreds of items you'd like to sale, quantity is not an issue.  We offer free consultations, and would be happy to schedule an appointment with you to discuss your auction needs.  We can design an auction exclusively for you, or we may combine your items with another auction to help defray the cost.  We can conduct auctions on your site, or we will help to locate an acceptable location specially for your auction.

Our commission rates varies from 11% to 40% depending on the quantity & quality of the items you consign. All commissions & fees are deducted  from your gross sales.  Payments to consignors are  paid by check, and mailed within 7-14 days after the  date of the auction.  All of our auctions are computerized and each consignor receives a consignment sales report detailing the items sold and the selling price.  It's that simple! 

We offer labor & hauling services for hire when needed.  Call (509) 784-6678 for rates.  

Feel free to call if you have more questions, we are happy to assist you.
