Consigning at Dovetail…

We get it. Letting go of what you no longer need can be freeing, exciting, and sometimes really difficult. We understand and we have been there. Let us help!

The Process…

First step, give us a call and let us know what you’re ready to sell.

We will set up a consultation, either in person or virtually. After we determine what your needs are, packing, moving, drop off, etc., we can discuss any fees for those services.

We sell primarily antiques and art but do often sell vintage items. We always do great with silver and gold but our specialty is country primitives.

Our consignment rates are 30%. We only benefit when your items sell, the better you do, the better we do, so you can expect us to do our best.

We will write up, photograph and post your items to our online auction platforms. You will receive a consignor report with all of your listed lots. Our estimates will be broad but our goal is to get you the best value for your items.

We will hold regular sales and have in person preview prior to each auction Monday through Thursday 8:30-3:30.

Our affiliate auction house, Pook & Pook, Inc, is just a few minutes away. They deal primarily with high end antiques and fine art. If we know your item will do better at Pook & Pook, we will deliver it to them at no additional cost to you.

Consignor payments will be issued within 30 days, provided items have been paid for by the successful bidder.
