Selling at Arthur JohnsonWhy Arthur Johnson and Sons? We have perhaps the largest constantly changing selection of furniture and collectables to be offered for sale by auction anywhere in the Midlands. This attracts an enormous number of trade and private buyers. Last year we had over 25,000 buyer registrations including international buyers. We are therefore able to offer your items to the widest possible audience.
How to Sell We recommend that you telephone us (on 0115 9869128) or email us at clientservices@arthurjohnson.co.uk. We will be happy to discuss what you have to sell and how best to enter items in a forthcoming sale. In many cases we recommend a free home visit.
Collection Service Our removal contractors have many years experience in moving antique furniture and other effects. They provide a very efficient, friendly service and their charges for bringing items into the salerooms are based on a rate of £35 per hour for a van and 2 men. We will pay the contractors on your behalf and deduct the costs from the sale proceeds.
Commission The standard rate of commission is 15% (plus VAT) subject to a minimum fee of £2.50 per lot. We are happy to discuss reduced rates for high volume consignments. When a customer’s lots are being sold over several weeks we can make interim payments after each sale on request.
Pre-sale Advice If you wish to place a reserve price on any of your items we are happy to advise you.
Payment We pride ourselves on paying our clients promptly. We will normally send a cheque to all our vendors within seven days of all their items having been sold.
