Selling With Austin Auction
Austin Auction Gallery has successfully partnered with individuals, executors, and trustees to market fine art, antiques, and other estate items since 1983. Austin Auction offers a knowledgeable staff and large state-of-the-art auction facility which combine to maximize the return on your merchandise. Whether you need to liquidate individual items or a complete estate Austin Auction offers you a turnkey solution.
The process:
- Contact Austin Auction with your estate or consignment needs. This can be done by email at info@austinauction.com (emailed photos are very helpful) or by phone at 512-258-5479.
- Once an agreement has been reached to sell your merchandise, Austin Auction can arrange to have your estate professionally packed and transported to our 25,000 sq ft auction facility.
- Your items will be evaluated based on current and historic market conditions for similar items and a high and low estimate of value is assigned. Your items are then photographed and described for display in our online catalog available to buyers worldwide.
- A marketing plan will then be established which may include advertising in local, national, and when appropriate, international publications. Austin Auction Gallery will also utilize its own extensive databases of proven auction buyers by direct mail and email, and make phone calls to specific collectors and dealers.
Settlement of auction proceeds will take place within 30 business days of the auction. We must receive payment from the buyer before a lot will be considered sold. Settlement will include a record of each lot offered by inventory number and its individual sales price.
Austin Auction Gallery and its experienced staff stand committed to making your estate dispersal a smooth and efficient process.
