WHERE TO FIND OUR SALES:
Our sales have been held online on Live Auctioneers, as well as in person, and we have had over 1,100 bidders from 45 countries bidding in our sales online at once! Our sales are promoted to millions of people worldwide on Facebook groups relating to railroads and model railroading, as well as to our mailing and email lists that number over 100,000 people. You can email us at jmhobbysupply@hotmail.com to be added to our email list, and you will then receive anouncements for upcoming auctions!
CONSIGNOR FEES and BUYERS PREMIUMS:
Very important!!! We have the LOWEST commission rates for sellers and buyers of any major auction firm in the USA! We don't charge 30-40 percent buyers or sellers fees like many firms do, as we feel this causes sellers to lose sales due to lower bids, which are caused when buyers bid less due to the fees they have to pay after the hammer price. Large collections receive a discount on sellers fees as well! We are also building a new Facebook site for our auctions. Members of the Facebook site will receive an additional discount on buyers fees at our auctions, too!! Email us at jmhobbysupply@hotmail.com to become a member of the new Facebook site!
SHIPPING OF ITEMS PURCHASED AT AUCTION:
We also charge ACTUAL shipping costs! Postage plus the cost of packing materials (boxes/bubble wrap/tape, etc...) We were disgusted when buying things for our museum foundation from other auctions in the past and getting charged $20 just to ship a small paper railroad pass, or $200 to ship a single railroad milk can!! We refuse to treat our customers like this, so shipping is done accurately and fairly!
CONSIGNORS--PICK UP OF LARGE COLLECTIONS:
Typically, many smaller collections of items are either shipped to us by the consignor, or dropped off to us in advance of the sale. However, if you have LARGE collections, we will pick up your collection with no up-front charges. Typically, these are for collections of 500 or more pieces, including fragile or larger items, that would take a pick-up truck and trailer, or even a semi truck!! We simply take the expense for pick up off your auction proceeds on the back end. This also assures you, and us, that your items will be shipped safely! Call us at 920-857-9670 to discuss shipping or pick up needs.
SALES PAYMENT--PROMPTLY and EFFICIENTLY!
Unlike other firms who take 30 days or more to pay consignors, we have consignors paid within 14 days. You will also receive an itemized list of your items so you know exactly what each item sold for. We have many consignors who consign items to us for multiple auctions, as they like our promptness and organizational abilities. We also send each consignor a lot list and descriptions of their items to view before items are posted live and online for sale, in advance of public viewing.
