Selling
If you have anything you wish to sell please get in touch with us. Sending us an email with some photographs and information is a great place to start. You can email the information to us at info@usherauctions.ie
Once we have received the information we will give you a call to discuss whether the items are suitable for sale in our auction.
If you wish we can also make an appointment with you to come and visit in person to look at and discuss potential auction items that you may have.
If you decide to sell with us we will issue a contract of engagement which contains all of the terms and conditions of sale along with the auctioneers' rate of commission. In addition to the contract, we will need to take a copy of a form of photographic I.D from you and proof of address which will be kept on file.
Our commission for sales is 18% of the hammer price plus VAT (currently 23%) on the commission only. We do not charge for any unsold lots.
If you are unable to deliver to us, we can help arrange transport with one of our recommended couriers. This cost can be deducted from the cost of your sales, or paid for in advance directly with the courier.
When your items arrive here with us we will log them with your unique seller number along with any reserves. The reserve is the minimum price a seller is willing to accept for the sale of an item. We will discuss and work with you on all agreed reserves. Please note that the auctioneer has a 10% discretion on all reserves.
All lots will be numbered, catalogued, photographed and available to view online via our Easy Live Auction page 10 days before the date of the sale.
If you provide an email address we can send you pre-sale advice for your lots including descriptions, reserves and estimates.
The sale can be attended by yourself in person or viewed live online with Easy Live Auction.
If you have given us an email address we will send you out post-sales advice 4 to 5 days after the sale. This will give you a list of your sold and unsold items. Alternatively please give us a call the week after the sale.
Any unsold items will need to be collected as soon as possible after the sale. Please give us a call to arrange a suitable time.
Payment will be issued approximately 3 weeks after the sale and only when we have received all payments due by the buyer.
All payments will be made by cheque in Euro.
If any lot does not sell the vendor is responsible for collection. We would kindly ask that this happens within 10 days of the sale. It may be possible, in some cases, to enter the unsold lot in the following auction with a reduced reserve. Any items, following a second entry to auction, that are left uncollected on the premises for more than 1 month will be donated to charity.
