Paid by Seller

Seller's Commission

By Quote

Our seller's commission is set on a per-consignment basis depending on the items involved, the volume, and the work required to catalogue, photograph, and process the lot. Simple single items attract a lower rate; complex multi-item jobs or those requiring significant labour, transport, or documentation are priced accordingly. Contact us for a free, no-obligation quote.

Paid by Buyer

Buyer's Premium

15%

A 15% buyer's premium is added to the winning bid at checkout. This is paid by the buyer, not the seller. It is standard practice across all auction platforms and is clearly disclosed to all registered bidders before they place a bid.

Collected at Checkout

Sales Tax

+Tax

Applicable Texas sales tax is collected on the total buyer amount (hammer price + buyer's premium) where required by law. Tax is collected and remitted by Pennyworth in accordance with Texas state requirements. Sellers do not collect or remit tax directly.

What the Seller Receives

The seller receives the hammer price minus the agreed seller's commission. The buyer's premium and sales tax are entirely separate charges paid by the buyer at checkout — they do not reduce what the seller receives. Your exact commission rate will be confirmed in writing before any items are accepted.

Common Questions

Everything You
Need to Know.

How long until my items sell?
Most items are listed within 1–2 weeks of intake, depending on cataloguing volume. Auctions typically run 7–10 days once live. We'll give you an estimated timeline at intake.
What if my items don't sell?
If an item doesn't sell at auction, we'll discuss options with you — re-listing at a lower reserve, bundling into a lot, or returning the item. Nothing is discarded without your approval.
Can I set a reserve price?
Yes. We work with you to set appropriate reserves based on market value and item condition. We'll advise on what's realistic to maximise your return.
When do I get paid?
Settlement happens after the buyer has collected the item and payment has cleared. We aim to settle within 7–10 business days of auction close. Full documentation is provided.
Is there a minimum value to consign?
We don't have a hard minimum, but items should have enough resale value to justify the cataloguing and listing process. We'll be upfront during consultation if an item isn't a good fit.
Do I pay anything upfront?
No. There are no upfront fees. Our seller commission is only applied when your items sell. The consultation and quote are always free.
What items do you not accept?
We do not accept hazardous materials, items with no resale value, heavily damaged goods, or items with missing critical components. If you're unsure, text us and we'll let you know.
Can I donate items instead of consigning?
Absolutely. If you'd prefer a tax receipt instead of proceeds, visit our donation page. Proceeds from donated items benefit Outsiders Anonymous, a registered 501(c)(3).
