How to sell your Antiques and Collectibles for the best price possible

Paul Fraser Collectibles Private Treaty sales

If you have unique antiques and collectibles to sell it can be a daunting task.

Many of the world's biggest auction houses now charge up to 20% commission, plus taxes, to both the vendor and the purchaser, meaning you are potentially missing out on a 40%+ spread with no guarantee of the final sale price.

Here at Paul Fraser Collectibles we offer a viable alternative to the auction process.

Once we have determined the value of your item/s we will orchestrate every detail, marketing your items for sale at an agreed set price to prospective buyers worldwide.

With readers in 212 countries around the world our reach is equal to, if not greater than, many of the world's biggest auction houses.  

  • No consignment fees
  • No image fees
  • No unsold lot fees
  • Achieve the best price possible

How do I find out what my antiques and collectibles are worth?

In the first instance please email info@paulfrasercollectibles.com with full details, images, details of provenance and your idea of value. Our team of experts will then discuss your item/s and contact you to gather more information. With our experience of current market trends and auction realisations we will confirm with you what we believe to be a fair, and achievable, consignment listing price.

What is your commission level?

£100,000 - £499,999 20%

How do I ship my item/s to you?

When you send the item/s to us you will need to include signed copies of the Private Treaty sale consignment listing and the Private Treaty sale consignment agreement - you can download these at the bottom of this page. IMPORTANT Please do not ship anything to us without our prior agreement.
