How consignment works.
- 01
Catalog review
Submit your cue through the consignment form. Every submission is reviewed for maker, condition, originality, provenance, and sale readiness — within one business day.
- 02
The record
If accepted, the house documents the lot: specifications, condition report, originality disclosure, and a complete image set — coordinated photography, or your own set to the published standard. You approve the final catalog entry before it is published.
- 03
The sale
Auctions run for seven days on standardized increments with a two-minute soft close to protect price discovery. Reserve terms are agreed before scheduling; reserve amounts are never published. Consignors may not bid on their own lots.
- 04
Settlement
High Run collects from the buyer and holds settlement until delivery is confirmed and the buyer review window closes — three business days after confirmed delivery. Your proceeds — the hammer price less commission at the published rates — release after the window closes with no dispute. The buyer’s premium is separate and paid by the buyer. There is no fee to submit; final seller terms are confirmed in writing before lot acceptance.
