For those who need to sell the contents of an estate, home or collection, Sheridan Appraisers and Asset Liquidators of New York offers a full range of consignment services, taking care of the process for you. From the on-site inspection and generation of the inventory list, to selling and reporting, we handle every aspect of your consignment with great care. Whether we are representing clients at high-end auctions or advertising and running on-site tag sales, no other company can match the variety and depth we deliver in the area of sales and liquidation. How it works Knowledge of marketplace conditions is vital in obtaining the highest potential sale price for your fine art and personal property, and is another area in which Sheridan Appraisers and Asset Liquidation of New York excels. Because the economic environment has become increasingly difficult in recent times, one of the most crucial elements in the profitable dispersal of assets is identifying the appropriate venue for the sale of each item. We do this by evaluating each object as a separate piece rather than as a “collection” and utilize our extensive network of art and antique dealers, auction houses, interior designers, private collectors and other sources to ensure the best marketplace conditions, allowing our clients achieve the highest return possible. Consignment terms are usually for a period of six to twelve months in order for us to get the best prices possible for the items being sold. However, if you need to liquidate your property in a shorter period, we can adjust the terms to meet your needs. In certain cases, we may offer to purchase the entire estate or collection. Commission Fees Fees for items taken on consignment are based on a thirty percent (30%) commission of the sale price for each item and are deducted from the total gross sales. This fee covers all marketing, advertising and storage costs for the duration of the consignment contract. Out-of-pocket costs for trucking and other required services (such as restoration and/or repairs) will be deducted from the net sale amount before final payment is made to the consignor. A Sales Report with a full accounting of the price realized for each item sold will accompany the payment due. Packing, Shipping and Cleanout Services Sheridan Appraisers and Asset Liquidation of New York also provides a full range of packing and shipping services for your fine art and personal property, as well as cleanout services where we remove items of no value and leave the premises broom clean. Our crews are fully bonded and insured, and always work with the utmost care and respect for the property they handle.
