Setup: Our gallery allows us the ability to offer skilled presentation - your items bring more when they look their best. We take the time to set up and display your items to look their best (Even if we are selling on-site!).

Moving/Packing: You have several options for delivering items for auction. We recommend three weeks lead time for advertising (digital pictures, newspapers, etc).

Options include:
o Delivery to our gallery prior to the auction
o Complete pick up and packing services are available by Castner Auction & Appraisal Service for an additional charge.

Estate Buyout: Although we have purchased estate contents at the insistent request of our customers who want cash upfront, we have found that this is not the best option in the best interest of our customers. We feel that an honest commission is the fairest way to charge for selling items at auction. The most lucrative way to maximize consignor profit is a properly marketed auction.
