Frequently Asked Questions – Seller

At times, we do buy estates, but it is not typical.  Oftentimes the items go in auction on consignment.

We have various email outlets, as well as auctioneer postings.  Our website is updated before each auction and we post the items on our ever-growing Facebook page. (Thank you Go Local Advertising!)

We expect you to bring in clean and non-broken items for consignment.  We only want quality merchandise.

Yes, people may look at the items up to 2 hours before the auction starts, and we post pictures on auctionzip.com, as well as Facebook.

You need to check with us to see if it sold.  If it didn’t, by the decision of the auctioneer, we may put it up again or you may need to pick it up from the property.  If the item(s) are not picked up before the next auction, it becomes property of Magnolia Gardens Auction House.  Please be responsible for checking on your items.

You may attend the auction but you may absolutely not bid on your own items. At Magnolia Gardens Auction House, we pride ourselves in keeping everything fair and legitimate. Consignors are not allowed to bid on their own items.  It is best not to show emotion while your items are up for bid, it may discourage bidding.
