Selling at Auction

Alderfer Auction & Appraisal can handle all aspects involved with the auction from packing, pickup, advertising and display, to the auction itself.

Popular auction items include antiques, fine art, decorative accessories, furniture, automobiles, vintage items, antique dolls, coins, stamps, jewelry, firearms, and other collections. Alderfer Auction & Appraisal often sells the contents of businesses as well, including equipment, furniture, and when appropriate, archives and records.


Consider Consigning
Alderfer Auction & Appraisal sells only items consigned to us. We do not purchase items outright for resale. This ensures no conflict of interest. We work for the cosigner while attracting the buyer through innovative marketing, honest business dealings, and outstanding customer service.

Our auction method provides sellers with:
• Real market value • Competitive bidding
• Professional expertise • Rapid post-auction payout*

Consignments of items for scheduled auctions can be arranged. To make an appointment, please contact us to speak with one of our representatives about the terms and commission rates.

* Detailed settlement sheets along with your check for the proceeds are mailed within 14 business days of the auction.


Easier with Our Experts
Alderfer Auction & Appraisal provides the skill of experts on antiques, fine art, and collectibles plus a half-century of experience in promoting our auctions and our consignors’ merchandise. Our professionals are admired for their ethics and creativity, and have knowledge of the marketplace and current value of the items we sell.

Each auction is evaluated to determine how and when to best market the merchandise. A customized marketing strategy is planned for each auction – direct mail, advertising, web publicity, and targeted email are just some of our promotional tools – and we utilize an extensive contact list with regional, national, and international reach. Our in-house experts can create a fully customized program designed to fit your goods. This valuable marketing draws attention to the auction, providing maximum exposure and visibility to potential buyers.
