Selling

1. Getting Auction Estimates

The first step to selling your item is to get auction estimates. Fellows' specialists can provide you with free auction estimates based on photographs. Please use our online valuation form.

 

 

Alternatively you can...

Post Them to Us
Please send your items via Special Delivery to Fellows, 19 Augusta Street, Birmingham B18 6JA. You will need to include contact details and any special notes about the item. We will contact you as soon as we have received your item.

Bring the Item into Fellows
We always advise you to telephone prior to your visit to ensure a valuer will be available. Please call us on 0121 212 2131. Alternatively, Fellows offer an open door policy every Wednesday 10am – 4pm.
If your goods are too large to bring in for valuation, please contact us and we can arrange for one of our valuers to visit you.

2. Decision to sell

Based on the auction estimates, our specialists will decide whether your property is appropriate for sale at auction. If you decide to proceed, you will sign a contract, and Fellows will take the item in for cataloguing.

*Please note there will be additional charges for photography, a loss or liability charge and lotting fee. Seller's will also pay a commission charge. For more information on these charges please click here.

Approximately two weeks before the auction you will receive a letter notifying you of the lot numbers allocated to your items. You will also receive a full colour catalogue.

3. Sellers contract

The seller's contract provides details of your reserve price and seller's commission.

 

Reserve Price

The reserve is the confidential minimum selling price to which you and the valuers agree before the auction - your item's minimum price below which no bid will be accepted. If bidding on your item fails to reach the reserve, we will not sell the piece and will advise you of your options after the auction.

Seller's commission
Sellers will pay a commission charge of 12.5% (plus VAT) on items which have a hammer price of £1,000 or more. Items sold under £1,000 will have a commission rate of 15% (plus VAT).

4. Payment

Payment for any sold items is sent out by cheque, usually fifteen working days after the sale is completed.
