Consign With Us

We make the consignment process simple and stress-free.

Our online auctions feature furniture, antiques, glassware, collectibles, artwork, rugs, home décor, and more. We accept items on consignment and also purchase collections and estates outright. If you're looking to sell, we'd love to hear from you.

 

How the Consignment Process Works

Step 1: Send Us Photos

Email photos of the items you'd like to consign to info@proctorauctions.com. Items do not need to be photographed individually. In your email, please include:

  • Whether you have a specific timeline

  • The location of the items or property

We'll review your submission and typically respond within a few business days.

 

Step 2: Consultation & Agreement

If your items are a good fit for our auctions, we'll discuss the details and prepare a consignment agreement. The agreement includes the inventory to be sold and the terms of the consignment. We will then schedule a pickup with our staff or arrange for you to drop off the items.

 

Step 3: Auction Preparation

Your items are stored until the appropriate auction. To maximize results, we organize auctions by category, such as:

  • High-end

  • Mid-grade / Everyday

  • Cleanout / TLC

Some items may be photographed and listed right away if they fit an upcoming auction, while others may be held for 60–90 days until the best sale opportunity.

 

Step 4: Cataloging & Marketing

Each item is entered into our inventory system and assigned to your account. We professionally photograph, catalog, advertise, and sell your items through our online auction platform.

 

Step 5: Settlement

Within 15–30 days after the auction closes, you'll receive:

  • A detailed settlement sheet

  • An itemized list of sold items and realized prices

  • Your payment by check

We'll ask you to countersign the settlement for our records.

That's it! We handle this process every day and work hard to make selling your items as seamless and convenient as possible.
