Request an auction estimate from our team of specialists - if your item is suitable for auction, we will provide you with a valuation and further details of how to sell with us. We can then organise safe collection of your possessions - by courier for smaller items or by van for larger consignments - and sell them for you at auction.
We are aware that you may not have sold at auction before, and our aim is to make the process of selling as simple as possible whether you are a seasoned auction user or a first timer. Dawsons friendly and approachable team are always happy to answer any questions, and will guide you effortlessly through the sale.
