Preparing your items properly for consignment can make a significant difference in their appeal and final price at auction. At Tweed Auctions, our low consignment rates help you maximize profits, and with the right preparation, you can ensure your items stand out on auction day. Here’s how:
1. Clean and Polish Thoroughly
Well-maintained items instantly attract more attention and perceived value. Polish furniture, wipe down mechanical equipment, and ensure all glass surfaces are clear and smudge-free. Cleanliness makes items look well-cared-for and ready for use, which appeals to buyers.
2. Quality Photos for Online Appeal
High-quality photos are essential to boost online interest. Ensure photos highlight the item’s key features, taking shots from various angles with good lighting. This allows buyers to fully appreciate what they’re bidding on, increasing engagement and ultimately higher bids.
3. Document Background and Provenance
For antiques and collectibles, include any information about origin, brand, or special history. Items with a compelling story or known brand attract more bids, as buyers gain confidence in their investment.
4. Minor Repairs for Added Value
Fix small imperfections to boost desirability. Simple repairs, like tightening screws or touching up scratches, make items look ready to use, often increasing their value at auction.
By taking these steps, you’ll maximize the return on your consignment items at Tweed Auctions. Start preparing your items today for our December 3 auction!
