A Word About Auction Houses.
Auction should be a last resort for clearing out estates after any items of significant value have been removed.
Auctions houses typically charge up to 40% commission. They also charge and average of 13% to the buyers which suppresses their bidding price.
The important factor is total loss of control of the asking price.
Example, an item you would price at $50 may sell at auction to a high bid of only $10. Your payment becomes $6.
The same item at Men’s Exchange® would yield $24 and have time to be seen by a willing buyer.
That is a 400% increase in your potential commission.
