What do you have to sell?
Most people have items in their possession that they have either collected or that have been passed down through generations. Sometimes you get curious about what it is worth, or you may be downsizing, what ever your reason we can help you with selling your items.
The first step to consigning your property for sale at auction is to request an auction estimate. Most times it’s best if you take photos of the items you are interested in selling and email them to us so that we can have the right specialist contact you. We can meet with you either at our gallery or your location to view the items you are wishing to sell and evaluate them for potential in our auctions. If both parties agree that our estimate prices work than you will turn items over to Lawrenceville Antique Gallery.
Once Consigned what happens?
If we accept your item into consignment to put in an auction you can relax knowing that they are in good hands. Your specialist will go over all the terms and conditions of the consignment with you and will answer any questions that you have regarding the process.
My Item sold at auction now what?
Payment will be sent thirty-five (35) days after the auction for all lots sold and collected along with a detailed settlement statement.
