How to Consign
Exclusive Consignment with Treasure Trove Auctions
At Treasure Trove Auctions, we offer a world-class consignment experience tailored to discerning collectors and sellers of rare and valuable items. From evaluation through auction day, our team ensures a seamless and prestigious process that maximizes the value of your treasures.
Step 1: Request a Private Evaluation
Begin with a personalized evaluation by our expert specialists. Simply submit a request, and our team will carefully assess your item’s historical significance, market demand, and potential auction performance. We curate our offerings with precision, ensuring each consigned piece meets our exceptional standards and delivers the most value to you, the consignor.
Step 2: Exclusive Consignment Agreement
Once accepted, you will receive a tailored consignment agreement outlining commission rates, reserve pricing (if applicable), insurance coverage, and the auction timeline. Transparency and trust are paramount to us at Treasure Trove, and we ensure you have a full understanding of every detail before proceeding.
Step 3: Concierge Collection & Secure Transport
For significant collections or rare, high-value pieces, our team of experts is ready to travel nationwide—or internationally—to personally take possession of your items. Whether by private courier or coordinated logistics, we ensure the utmost care in handling, transport, and security, giving consignors like you, complete peace of mind.
Step 4: Authentication & Documentation
For historical artifacts and valuable collectibles, authenticity is everything. Along with any documentation you provide, our specialists conduct meticulous research, consulting industry-leading experts, museum archives, and forensic resources to verify provenance and historical accuracy. Any necessary proof of ownership is also reviewed to maintain the integrity of our auctions.
Step 5: Cataloging & Global Marketing Campaigns
Each item is professionally photographed and described in intricate detail, ensuring it is showcased in the most compelling manner in which it deserves. Your consigned piece will be featured in our extensive marketing campaigns—both globally and locally—leveraging strategic advertising connections, premium auction platforms, and optimized targeted outreach often specific to your collection. Whether reaching elite collectors worldwide or engaging regional buyers, we leave no stone unturned to maximize exposure and attract the best possible bidders for your items.
Step 6: The Auction & Sale Event
Your item will take center stage in one of our elite live or timed-online auctions, attracting competitive bids from collectors, institutions, and investors worldwide. Our expert operation specialists and auctioneers, advanced digital bidding platforms, and strategic global promotions aim for maximum exposure and exceptional results. Once the gavel falls, we handle every post-sale detail, from invoicing and secure payment processing to professional packing and insured shipping, ensuring a seamless transition from auction block to buyer’s hands.
Step 7: Payment to You!
After the successful sale of your item, your payment is processed promptly and securely via direct deposit or to your preferred payment method. Treasure Trove Auctions ensures a smooth and transparent payout process, providing you with a detailed sales summary and buyer satisfaction report. Sit back and enjoy the rewards of consigning with a premier auction house that values your trust and treasures.
At Treasure Trove Auctions, we are dedicated to delivering an unparalleled selling experience. Our expertise, vast network, and effective marketing strategies ensure your items receive the recognition—and value—they deserve.
