Sale vs. auction

Your advantages and disadvantages at a glance

You would like us to take care of your material but are not sure whether to submit it for auction or to sell it directly. To help you decide, here is a brief overview of the advantages and disadvantages:

ADVANTAGE – auction

In addition to our professional PR work and advertising, we generate international attention for your material by sending thousands of catalogues to collectors and dealers all over the world. This guarantees you the highest possible proceeds for the level of market demand. Once your material has been handed over to us, it is possible for you to receive a cash advance against the estimated auction proceeds.

DISADVANTAGE

Owing to the auction procedure and to a number of organisational factors, the final settlement does not take place until approximately 6 weeks after the auction date.

ADVANTAGE – sale

You receive your money as soon as the purchase agreement has been signed – there are no further steps to be taken.

DISADVANTAGE

You do not get the chance to experience the dynamics of an auction at first hand.
