Virtual Auctions
- Quick Sales. Top Dollar.
- Ebay remains one of the true Internet Revolutions. It is one of the remarkable resources which have revolutionized the way antiques and collectibles buyers and sellers can come together. The items you’ve chosen to sell are no longer limited in their public exposure to the shop browsers and antique show traders. On-line or “virtual” auctions offer global exposure and targeted marketing directly to the smartphones of collectors who are willing and able to pay the highest prices.
- Is it as Easy as it Looks?
- Does it look easy to you? Bidding and buying, yes, it’s pretty easy. All you need is an e-mail address and a credit card! Selling is another story. Rather advanced computer skills are essential, as well as patience and flexibility! Ebay is constantly upgrading their website. They improve processes, and often provide new service options. It can be a full-time job just to keep up with the changes! So unless you are planning an investment in your future as a long term seller, we recommend consigning to one of our experienced on-line sales professionals. Selling at Ebay can be easy. PEERLESS Estate Sales is your agent in the world of virtual auctions
- Value of our Services:
- From listing to shipment, the process of marketing at the on-line auctions is labor-intensive. Thanks to the power of PEERLESS Estate Sales’ own EMPIREv.5 inventory management system and ebay tracking tools, our associates can manage the details of hundreds of auction items at once and never drop the ball. We provide exceptional service to both our consignment clients and bidding customers. Buyers can ask a lot of questions and often make special requests! It’s our job to provide the kind of service bidders expect, and it’s our pleasure to go above and beyond to provide the kind of service they didn’t expect!
- As our Client, here’s what you can expect from our Ebay drop-off services:
- A inventory of your items in our possession;
- Careful handling and safe storage until shipped to the buyer;
- Guidance and advice regarding reasonable expectations;
- High quality digital images of your item;
- Proper titling and experienced descriptions to attract bidders;
- Confirmation with high bidder at close of auction to arrange payment and shipping details;
- Settlement of the electronic transaction;
- Careful packaging and insured shipping;
- Re-listing of item if it doesn’t sell the first time;
- Prompt monthly payments of your portion of successful sales;
- Professional Fees and Client Agreement:
- Our fee is commission-based which is a percentage of total cash from the sale. Our Client’s portion of the selling price is paid on the 15th of the month following the month of sale. PEERLESS Estate Sales reserves the right to deny individual e-auction services based on the marketability of the item - not value or estimated selling price! Unlike our competitors, we have no minimum value on the items we accept on consignment. With so many venues for selling, we can provide services in most any situation. Consigners with unrealistic selling price expectations, however, may be denied service. A written Consignment Agreement is standard. All items consigned to PEERLESS Estate Sales for on-line auctions must be in our possession prior to listing. Appraisal services are not included with virtual auction or consignment services. Please contact our office: allison@peerlessplace.com to discuss the items you would like to sell.
