We work with lots of auctioneers from relevant and highly qualified auction houses. Your item is in our database of leads and interested auctioneers will reach out to you directly on your email if they can help you sell your item.
If you said "yes" or "maybe" when we asked if your item was for sale auctioneers are now able to contact you. If you said "no" go to your item page and change that to "yes".
Alternatively, if you said "yes," your item is on our marketplace and visible for people looking to make offers - you can choose to accept or decline.
Let us know if you have additional questions.
Thanks. I had to change my location to Wilmington, DE (also close to Philadelphia). Do you know if my new location will be available to auction houses now?
Also, I made this entry private. Should I make it "public" in order to take advantage of offers/potential sales?
Yes. If it's private, only you (and us at Mearto) can see it. Making it public will make it viewable for potential offers/sales.
Hello, Thank you for your quick reply. If we wanted to sell, is this something that we could go through your company and get to a local auction house?
