If you choose to sell with Droitwich Auctions you can be assured of a professional and very competitive service. Droitwich Auctions are not greedy and do not expect to earn ridiculous commissions unlike most other regional auctions who may charge 25% sellers commission and 25% buyers premium plus all manner of other charges! Here at Droitwich Auctions we are not looking for half of the sale price at all, we are happy with a reasonable 10% sellers premium (Minimum charge of £2), 1% insurance cover plus a one pound entry fee. We also do not charge an extra fee for any other reason such as a no sale fee. With this in mind we are already in front of the competition.
Selling with Droitwich Auctions also guarantees that your items are being advertised not only locally but also to a worldwide audience through our state of the art auction software. This ensures that you will achieve the best prices possible.
