Is Roadrunner Auctions the place you want to sell your items?
You will make the most money by matching your items with the best place to sell them; Consignment Store, Craigslist, Ebay or Amazon, Yard Sale or Auction House. If you decide an auction house is the way to go contact a couple of auction houses before making your decision to compare commission rates, length of time it will take to sell your items and how long you will have to wait to get paid.
How much are your items worth?
Market value is determined on demand and rarity as well as the economy. Also, sentiment often affects the value potential a consignor attributes to their item. More than one person will have to want to buy your item to drive the price up. We want your items to sell for as much as possible because our profits are based on how much your items sell for.
How do you consign an item or items at Roadrunner Auctions?
Email a request to Roadrunnerauctionsnm@gmail.com to drop off items. You will get a return email with the next available day and time. When you arrive at your scheduled time you will place your items in a designated area and arrange your items in "lots", as you want them to be sold. There is a maximum of 30 lots per scheduled drop off. We would like each lot to potentially sell for a minimum of $20. Someone will review your items and you will be given an itemized receipt of the items you dropped off. We do not lot your items nor do we clean or repair your items. During our cataloging of your items we will reject any item found to be in an unsalable condition. We have the right to refuse any item.
Can Roadrunner Auctions pick up or deliver your items?
Roadrunner Auctions does not offer a pickup or delivery service at this time.
What will Roadrunner Auctions charge you for your items?
There are no upfront cost to you as a consignor when selling your items at Roadrunner Auctions. We offer a very competitive commission rate based on a sliding scale that ranges from 10% to 100%. The more your item sells for the more you as the consignor will profit. High dollar items, $500 and over will be negotiable. The are no charges for photography, insurance, cataloging and offering your items for sale using our website. Commission rates for Estate auctions and business liquidations (off-site auctions) will be negotiated after we view the location and determine the amount of items as well as labor costs.
How much will you make?
Roadrunner Auctions starts each lot at $1.00 so the amount you make will depend on the demand for your item. Your selling price will increase when multiple potential buyers want your item. Any unsold lots will be returned at no cost, however if it does not sell for $1 then it should probably have not been dropped off.
How long will it take to sell your items?
In most cases your items will be in the next available Tuesday night auction. In some instances your item may be held over an additional week, however, you will be notified when you drop off you item as to which auction it will be in.
When do you get paid for your item?
Payment is ready the next day after the auction closes. Use the scheduler to make your appointment. When you arrive at your appointed time you will receive your payment along with any items that may have not sold.
