• Pricing guidance and reserve recommendations

• Assisting on-site with major collection sorting or valuation visits (where applicable)

Rewarding Commission Opportunities

For suitable instructions, there is potential for a rewarding commission-based incentive, particularly where a consultant introduces a consignment, identifies key value within a collection, or supports the successful sale of specialist material.

Commission structures are agreed in advance and on a case-by-case basis, depending on the nature of the work, the category, and the size/value of the consignment.
