STEP ONE: GET AN ESTIMATE

STEP TWO: CONSIGN YOUR ITEMS

When consigning items with ARDENT, you will meet with a member of staff who will customise a Sellers Agreement. Upon finalizing and signing the Sellers Agreement, ARDENT will work with you to facilitate the drop off or pick up of your items to us. If it is a large consignment, ARDENT can arrange to have your items picked up and delivered to our premises, deducting the cost from the future proceeds of your sales. You will receive a complete inventory of your items and be able to follow photos and descriptions of your property through every stage of the auction process on the “Catalogue” page of the website. 

​Should any questions arise we will be more than pleased to discuss with you.

STEP THREE: LOOK FOR THE CHEQUE!

Upon the sale of an item, the Sellers receives the “hammer price” minus the commissions and any other fees indicated in your signed Sellers Agreement (average commission is 18% for all lots sold). Bank Deposits for the proceeds of each auction are issued to the Sellers after 35 days, in accordance with the Sellers Agreement.
