Why Choose Us Over An Auction?
When it comes to selling antiques, vintage items, jewellery, furniture, or entire estate contents, many people consider auctions as their first option. However, auctions come with several drawbacks that can significantly reduce the final amount you receive for your valuable items. Here’s why choosing Fannies Emporium Antique Centre for house clearance is a better, more profitable, and hassle-free alternative:
1. No Auction Fees – You Keep 100% of What You Sell
- Most auction houses charge at least 30% in commission, and this can rise even higher once you factor in hidden costs like:
- Seller’s commission – Typically 30% of the hammer price.
- Buyer’s premium – The buyer also pays an extra 20-30%, which can lower their willingness to bid high.
- Listing fees – Some auctions charge just to catalogue your items.
- Photography fees – Additional costs to have your item professionally photographed.
- Storage and handling fees – If your item doesn’t sell immediately, you might incur charges for keeping it in auction storage.
- With us, you receive a straightforward, fair offer with no surprise deductions—what we offer is what you get.
2. Immediate Payment – No Waiting for Auction Results
- Auction houses often take weeks or even months to process and pay out sales.
- If an item doesn’t sell, you have to relist it and wait even longer.
- We provide immediate payment, meaning you don’t have to wait or chase payments—you get your money right away.
3. No Hassle, No Effort – We Handle Everything
- Selling through an auction requires time, effort, and patience.
- Researching which auction house to use.
- Transporting your items (often at your own expense)
- Waiting for valuation and cataloguing
- Hoping for a good sale price
4. Local, Trusted & Experienced
- As a well-established antique centre, we have:
- Years of experience in the antique trade
- A deep understanding of current market trends and valuations
- A trusted reputation within the community
- A physical location where you can visit and speak to real experts
- By choosing us, you are working with a local, reliable business that values transparency, fairness, and excellent customer service.
