2. Transport

When you agree to consign or sell your items, we have several options available for transporting them to our facility. These range from shipping your items, to a scheduled pick up with our DOT certified drivers.

3. Selling

Between arriving and being auctioned, we will have put our world-class marketing efforts to work for your item. Auction day is where you see our experience come to fruition.

4. Payment

35 calendar days after auction, payments are sent by both check and ACH. You will also receive a detailed report on the sale of your consigned items.
