Here’s how to sell your Collectable in 7 steps with The Collectables

From submission to delivery: our sales process

Step 1: Submit your Collectable

Step 2: Initial assessment

Once we have agreed on the terms and the expected proceeds, we will ask you to provide as much relevant information and documentation about your Collectable as possible, so we can give the best and fairest representation of your Collectable. We do this with the help of our (Google) information form, which we will send to you. If desired, we can schedule an intake and guide you through the process.

The information form also serves as the confirmation of the agreement. As a seller, you will only pay for the photographer’s fees. If desired, we can deploy additional marketing efforts, with the costs discussed in advance.

Step 3: Photoshoot

Once we have received the information form, we will connect you with a professional car photographer, who will schedule a photoshoot with you, capturing approximately 150 to 200 photos. The photos will become your property, and we will use them for our auction listing.

The photographer will provide the photos with the correct editing and in the appropriate format for our site. He will send you the invoice for the photography costs (approximately 300 EUR including VAT).

Step 4: Auction preparation

Once we have received the photos, we will announce the car on our "Expected" page. We will do this with a few photos and a brief description to "warm up" the bidders.

Step 5: Storytelling

In the meantime, we will get to work and create the lot description. Before the auction begins, the draft version will be submitted to you for approval.

Step 6: Auction goes live

Once we have received your approval for the text, we will put the lot online and bidding will begin from that moment. The starting price is deliberately set low to get the auction started. Experience shows that most bids are placed towards the end of the auction.

Step 7: Transaction & delivery

Once your pre-determined minimum sale price (the 'reserve') is reached, the highest bidder wins the auction. After the auction ends, the buyer pays the commission to The Collectables, after which we will connect the buyer and seller to complete the transaction.

If the reserve is not reached, we will mediate between you as the seller and the highest bidder(s) to see if an agreement can still be made. If that is not possible, we will re-auction the car.
