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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

We also purchase collections and estates outright. Contact us if you're interested in selling your collection directly instead of consigning.
Whether you're selling an entire estate or just a few special pieces, we can tailor our services to fit your needs. We handle everything from whole-house buyouts and estate cleanouts to individual consignments.
We offer pickup service from homes, businesses, and storage units for qualifying consignments.
Drop-off consignments are accepted Monday through Friday during non-auction weeks by appointment only. Please contact us before bringing items to ensure they are a good fit for our upcoming auctions.
