DO YOU HAVE ANTIQUE TOOLS, ANTIQUE KITCHEN GADGETS, SURVEYING INSTRUMENTS; FARM PRIMITIVES OR RELATED ANTIQUES FOR SALE? CONTACT MIKE AT RATDADDY@MAC.COM ABOUT SCHEDULING AN AUCTION OR ADDING YOUR ITEMS TO AN ALREADY SCHEDULED AUCTION. ALL INQUIRIES WILL BE HELD IN STRICT CONFIDENCE.



A 10 percent buyers premium is charged at all of our sales. We do not like having to charge it, but it has been a standard practice in the specialty auction industry for many years with the bigger houses charging 15 to 20 percent or more. We use the 10 percent we collect to offset the ever-increasing costs associated with putting our sales together. By not having to pass all these costs onto our consigners we are able to attract better consignments and offer competitive rates.
