Commission Rates

Straightforward, competitive, and all-inclusive.

Hammer Price Vendor Commission
$0 – $100 26%
$101 – $500 24%
$501 – $1,000 20%
$1,000+ 14%
What's included Photography, cataloguing, online listing, in-room presentation, and GST on commission. No hidden fees — what you see is what you pay.
Reserve prices You can set a minimum reserve on any lot. If bidding doesn't reach your reserve, the lot passes in at no charge to you.
Pick-up fee If we are collecting your items for sale, a pick-up fee will apply. This fee is $40/hour + GST, which covers a minimum of two staff members and a truck. If the pick-up only takes half an hour, you will only be charged for that duration. We won't invoice you separately — the pick-up fee will simply be deducted from the payment we make to you after your items sell.

Why Sell at Auction?

Auction is often the best way to achieve true market value — particularly for antiques, jewellery, art, and militaria where the right buyer will pay a premium for the right piece.

  • Competitive bidding drives prices above what a dealer would offer
  • Access to thousands of registered buyers online and in-room
  • Transparent process — you see exactly what your item sold for
  • No upfront costs — commission is only payable on a successful sale
  • 50+ years of local knowledge means accurate, honest valuations
  • Online auction platform reaches buyers across New Zealand and internationally
