Top Rated Auctions

The auction houses buyers and sellers trust, city by city.

An auction house lives on two reputations at once: whether buyers believe the catalogue, and whether sellers get paid what the room bid. These are ranked on verified Google ratings and review volume across both sides of that.

Before you go

Ask for the buyer's premium and the seller's commission as numbers, not ranges, and ask what the premium is on card versus cash. Ask how a lot is described when the house is not certain of it, because the honest answer to that question tells you almost everything about the house.

Questions

How do I find the best auction houses near me in your city?

Searching "auction houses near me" gives you whatever is closest, which is not the same as whatever is best. This page ranks your city auction houses on their public Google rating weighted by how many reviews back it up, so a long record of good reviews outranks a perfect score from a handful.

Why are no auction houses listed in your city yet?

Because we verify every listing against its public Google record before it goes on the page, and the your city pass has not run yet. An empty list is us not having checked, not your city not having any.

How are these auction houses ranked?

On verified public Google ratings and review volume, using a confidence-weighted score rather than the raw star number. Nobody pays for placement or for a higher position, and a paid listing never changes the order.

What should I ask before I use a auction house?

Ask for the buyer's premium and the seller's commission as numbers, not ranges, and ask what the premium is on card versus cash. Ask how a lot is described when the house is not certain of it, because the honest answer to that question tells you almost everything about the house.
