Selling with Goodwin

The first step in consigning in Auctions is submitting your items for Valuation

Start by contacting us to discuss what you’d like to sell.

You can:

• Submit photographs and item details online via our consignment form

• Email us directly at [email protected]

• Call to arrange an appointment

• Visit us in person (by appointment)    

We accept a wide range of categories, including but not limited to:

• Antiques and collectibles

• Jewellery and watches

• Diamonds & gemstones

• Estates and liquidations

   

We’ll provide an estimate of value, discuss market suitability, and recommend the most appropriate auction format for your items.

If you decide to proceed, we’ll issue a Consignment Agreement outlining:

• Commission rates

• Reserve prices (if applicable)

• Any photography, cataloguing, or marketing fees

• Payment terms

Once signed, you can deliver your items to us, or we can arrange pickup by prior arrangement.

Once your items are consigned:

• We professionally photograph and describe each lot

• Your items will be included in the appropriate upcoming auction

• Every sale is promoted to our national buyer base through:

  • Email campaigns

  • Online auction platforms

  • Social media and web advertising

  • Specialist collector networks

We make sure your items are seen by the right buyers, helping you achieve strong results.

On the day of the auction:

• Your lots will be offered for sale to registered bidders across Australia (and internationally, where applicable)

• Bidding may be live, online, telephone, or absentee

• If your lot has a reserve, we will only sell it once the reserve is met or exceeded

• Unsold items may be relisted or returned — we’ll consult with you post-sale

Once the auction has concluded:

• We will send you a vendor settlement statement detailing the results

• Payment is made within 14 business days, provided the buyer has paid and no disputes have been raised

• Payments are made by bank transfer, minus agreed commission and fees

• If your item did not sell, you can choose to:

  • Relist it in a future auction

  • Collect it from our premises

  • In some cases, donate or dispose of it at your request
