Why sell at auction: peace of mind and the guarantee of a fair price.

When you wish to sell an item, you face two main obstacles:

1° You do not know the exact nature and therefore the value of your item

2° You do not know the potential buyer who might be interested in your item.

Consulting an auctioneer will first allow you to discover the value of your item free of charge. If you decide to put it up for sale, the auctioneer will act as a trusted third party and connect buyers and sellers with complete peace of mind.

Furthermore, with the publication of our sales on dedicated platforms such as Drouot Digital or Interenchères, you can be sure that your item will be seen by collectors from all over the world.

Thus, you have every guarantee that your item will be sold at the best price.

Everything you need to know about putting your item up for sale.

Once you know the value of your item, you are free to decide whether or not to put it up for sale.

While the appraisal is free, putting an item up for sale is subject to a commission, known as seller's fees, which varies depending on the value and type of the item.

The auctioneer will issue a sales requisition that outlines the sales fees, the description, and the estimate of your item.

Your item is insured and stored securely, then published about ten days before the sale on a dedicated platform, Drouot Digital, which ensures distribution to collectors and dealers worldwide.

If your item is sold, you will be paid by wire transfer within the weeks following the sale, four at the most.

If your item does not find a buyer, the auction house charges no fees and will contact you to determine if you wish to collect it or present it for sale again.
