How much does it cost to auction my guitar?

We charge a fixed commission of 15% on the final sale price. This includes inspection, authentication, secure storage, promotion, auction handling, and shipping.

If your guitar isn't sold, you only pay the return shipping costs. This also applies if your reserve price isn’t met. You will still receive a free valuation report, and we can set up your guitar free of charge if you like.

You can set a minimum reserve price for your guitar. If no bids exceed this amount, the guitar will not be sold.

Until your guitar is sold, we store it securely in our protected storage facility.
