CONSIGNORS
Consignments can be sent to any member of the Jersey Marketing Service staff or your area representative. Two options for listing are available.
- Minimum Bid Option
In this option the consignor sets a reasonable minimum bid for the quality of the consignment being sold. That minimum bid is displayed with the lot on Jersey Bid and must first be accepted by a bidder to allow for raising bids to be placed and the lot to be sold. A 3% listing fee (calculated from the minimum bid amount) is charged to the consignor allowing for the lot to remain on Jersey Bid, if necessary, for up to one year – with no changes made to the lot. Upon a successful sale, the 3% listing fee is reimbursed and a 7% commission is deducted from the selling price.
- Absolute Bid Option
In this option the consignor allows the consignment to be sold for what the buyers decide to pay, with no minimum price being set. Upon a successful sale, a 6% commission is deducted from the selling price.
Professional pictures, quality candid photos and/or videos to be posted with the consignments are advised and welcomed.
