The Consignment Process

1. Initial Evaluation

The first step is to tell us what you have. Fill out our online form with a brief description and attach a few photos (group shots are fine for start).

• Pre-Auction Estimate: We will provide an estimate of what your items might bring at auction based on current market trends and past sales history.

2. Documentation & Safety

Once we accept your items, we provide a clear consignment contract.

• Full Insurance: Your property is fully insured while in our care and custody at our gallery.
• Provenance: If your items have a unique history or belonged to a notable family, please let us know. Documented history often leads to much higher bid prices.

3. Expert Marketing

We prefer to receive items 2 to 3 months before an auction. This gives our experts time to:

• Conduct thorough research and professional photography.
• List your items on HiBid, reaching thousands of registered collectors globally.
• Feature your collection in targeted advertisements and estate periodicals.

4. Getting Your Items to Us

• In-Person Delivery: You can drop off your items at our Winchester, VA gallery by appointment.
• Shipping: Please contact us before shipping so we can guide you on safe packaging.
• Professional Pickup: For large estates or bulky items, we offer a professional packing and pickup service. Ask us for a quote.

5. Consignor Settlement (Payment)

We ensure you get paid promptly.

• 30-Day Payment: You will receive a guaranteed settlement check and a detailed itemized report within 30 days of the auction’s completion.
• Transparency: Your statement will clearly show the hammer price for each item sold and the agreed commission.
