How to Sell with Deker Auctions
There are two primary methods for selling your valuables through Deker Auctions, and in some cases, we may recommend a combination of both. We understand that every client’s situation is unique, which is why we offer flexible options tailored to your needs.
-
OUTRIGHT PURCHASE
For those seeking convenience and immediate payment, we offer competitive purchase proposals for items ranging from a single piece to an entire estate. The outright sale provides fiduciaries and
heirs with the benefit of prompt and secure payment. We are particularly interested in acquiring high-quality fine art and antiques from private sources and are willing to offer a premium for exceptional pieces. -
CONSIGNMENT
Alternatively, you may choose to consign your items and allow them the opportunity to achieve their highest potential at auction. At Deker Auctions, we take great care in curating, photographing, and
marketing each auction item creatively, ensuring it reaches an international audience of pre-qualified buyers. Our consignment terms are straightforward,
competitive, and customized to meet the specific needs of each client. Seller’s commissions are determined based on the value and nature of the property being sold.

GETTING AUCTION ESTIMATES
The first step to selling property is to get auction estimates. Deker Auctions can easily provide you with free auction estimates based on photographs after you submit your object online. In some instances, Deker Auctions representatives will ask to visit you to view your property.
-
DECISION TO SELL
Based on the auction estimates, you and Deker Auctions will decide whether your property is appropriate for sale at auction. We will also recommend an appropriate venue and possible sale timing. If you decide to proceed, you will sign a contract, and Deker Auctions will take the property in for cataloguing and photography.
