Shipping and Insurance
Our staff can help arrange to have your property delivered to the Goupil’s location where it will be offered at auction. For assistance, please contact the selling location or your nearest Goupil’s office. As the consignor, you are responsible for packing, shipping and insurance charges.
Pricing and Payment
The seller’s contract sets the reserve price and the seller’s commission .
For sold lots, Goupil’s will send payment within 35 days from the sale date, provided we are in receipt of the buyer’s payment.
Your payment will be based on the hammer price less a commission and any agreed-upon expenses.
If bidding on your item fails to reach the reserve price , we will not sell the piece at auction. Some consignors choose to take back
their work(s), while others decide to offer it in a later auction or through our private sales department. Together, we will determine
the best course of action. Charges, such as shipping and handling that were agreed pre-sale, will be invoiced immediately after the auction.
If a lot does not sell, the reserve price will be used to determine certain fees.
With hundreds of live and online auctions every year, Goupil’s will recommend the best type of sale to achieve the highest price for your property.
Our experts also will consider the advantages of selecting one auction location over another and the most suitable time to sell your property.
