What does it cost to sell?

How do I get my bottles to you?
A free DHL collection from your door, a free home collection for larger collections (over £1,000 or more than 10 bottles), or drop them off at our Littlehampton office.
When will I be paid?
Buyers have three days to pay. Once payment clears, funds typically reach your account within 5 to 7 days of the auction closing.
What is 'Dynamic Auction Closing' and how does it work?
Our auctions don't have a fixed closing time. Instead, an automated system monitors bidding activity and closes the auction at an unpredictable time once activity drops below a certain level.
All lots remain open for bidding until the auction closes, which happens automatically and without warning. This approach helps prevent last-second sniping, creating a fairer and more transparent bidding experience for both buyers and sellers.
