How to Sell
Looking to sell? Visit our sell page to submit your item and request an auction estimate. You will be asked to fill in your personal information, information about your item, and photographs of your item. Our team of specialists will review your submission and come back to you as soon as possible. In some cases, we will contact you to gather more information or request a physical inspection of the item. Should your property is not appropriate for a Global Auction, we will recommend an alternative selling venue.
Shipping and Insurance
Our staff can help arrange the delivery of your property to Global Auction's office in Jakarta or Singapore. For assistance, please contact the nearest Global Auction office. As the consignor, you are responsible for packing, shipping, and insurance charges.
Pricing and Payment
The seller’s contract sets the reserve price and the seller’s commission. For sold lots, Global Auction will send payment within 30 days from the sale date, provided we are in receipt of the buyer’s payment. Your payment will be based on the hammer price less a commission and any agreed-upon expenses. If bidding on your item fails to reach the reserve price, we will not sell the piece at auction. Some consignors choose to take back their work(s), while others decide to offer it in a later auction or through our private sales department. Together, we will determine the best course of action. Charges, such as shipping and handling that were agreed pre-sale, will be invoiced immediately after the auction. If a lot does not sell, the reserve price will be used to determine certain fees. With plenty of live and online auctions every year, Global Auction will recommend the best type of sale to achieve the highest price for your property.
