FAQ
1. What do you charge to sell my items?
Bryant Auction prides itself with lower than industry standard commission rates, and top-of-the-line service and performance. Our commission is based on a sliding-scale, per item sold. We, however, under special circumstances may offer flat commission rates. The category, condition, quality, and quantity of items may all factor into your commission rates. We can also purchase your items outright. That is, you can forget waiting for your items to sell, and receive immediate payment the same day. Contact us to get your personalized commission quote.
2. Why should I choose you to sell my items?
We believe in the best or nothing. This applies to every part of our business practice, structure, and model. In the auction industry, like many others, you get what you pay for.
