We work with lots of auctioneers from relevant and highly qualified auction houses. Your item is in our database of leads and interested auctioneers will reach out to you directly on your email if they can help you sell your item.
If you said "yes" or "maybe" when we asked if your item was for sale auctioneers are now able to contact you. If you said "no" go to your item page and change that to "yes".
Alternatively, you can always proactively reach out to auction houses in your area to see if they are interested in selling this on your behalf.
Let me know if you have additional questions, and good luck!
Thanks again. I'm learning. I guess you only take artwork on consignment?
No worries - ask away!
Mearto doesn't sell items outright; rather we work with and we provide information for owners interested in selling and our database of values is accessible to potential auction houses who would be the ones to sell.
Great. Thanks so much.
Thanks very much. what is the best way to sell this? We are moving in early January and would prefer not to take with.
