Heritage Auctions is the world's fourth largest auction house, but we believe we are by far the safest choice when valuable estate property needs to be sold. Fiduciaries are invited to consider these important facts:
1.Heritage can auction all of the art and collectibles in your client's estate, unlike the two larger firms you probably deal with now, who typically sell the less expensive objects
in bulk, or offload them to auctioneers catering primarily to dealers.
2.Approximately 75% of items in Heritage auctions sell to retail collectors, the highest percentage by far of all major auction houses.
3.Collectors rarely buy in bulk, but tend to buy exactly what they want and are willing to pay much more than dealers.
4.Unlike most auction houses, Heritage focuses most of its marketing directly to private collectors through direct mail and the Internet.
5.According to Compete.com (the Nielsen ratings equivalent for the Internet) Heritage's website receives over twice as much traffic as Sothebys.com and Christies.com combined.
6.Heritage auctions almost 300,000 individual lots per year, significantly more than any other major auction house. Every lot you consign, even objects that sell for well under a thousand dollars, will be individually offered and carefully described, with enlargeable 4-color online photographs. Simply put, if you are liquidating a major estate and do not get a proposal from Heritage Auctions, you are likely to cost your clients a significant amount of money. Heritage serves over 450,000 registered online bidder members and over 600,000 collectors on our mailing list. This means your material will be viewed by far more qualified bidders, multiples more, when consigned to Heritage. Every day over 20,000 people visit our website. We have established HA.com as the leading online bidding platform of any full-service auction house. Heritage is here to help people both acquire wonderful objects, and, at the appropriate time of their choosing, assist them in selling via our global consignment platforms.
