How to sell

2. Estimates and Appraisals

Our specialists evaluate property based on its characteristics such as the artist or maker, country of origin, provenance, date of execution, materials, dimensions, rarity, subject matter or type, and condition. We also consider comparable sales and past performance of works by the same and similar artists.

3. Pricing and Payment

The seller’s contract sets the reserve price and the seller’s commission. For sold lots, Paraqon’s will send payment within 45 days from the sale date, provided we are in receipt of the buyer’s payment. Your payment will be based on the hammer price less a commission and any agreed-upon expenses. If bidding on your item fails to reach the reserve price, we will not sell the piece at auction. Together, we will determine the best course of action, whether this is taking back your work, offering it in a later auction or through our private sales department.

4. Shipping and Insurance

Our staff can help arrange to have your property delivered to the Paraqon's location where it will be offered at auction. As the consignor, you are responsible for packing, shipping and insurance charges.
