Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about selling your collection with us

How do you determine the value of my bottles?
Our team of certified spirits experts uses current market data, recent sales history, rarity, condition, and provenance to provide accurate valuations. We analyze thousands of auction results and private sales to ensure you get the most competitive assessment possible.
What if my bottles don't sell at auction?
If your bottles don't meet their reserve price or don't receive bids, you have several options: re-list them in the next auction with adjusted estimates, return them to you at no charge, or sell them privately through our network. There are no fees unless your bottles sell.
How do you handle shipping and insurance?
We offer multiple collection options including free pickup for large collections, professional shipping services, and secure drop-off locations. All bottles are fully insured from the moment we take possession until final sale. Our facilities are climate-controlled and monitored 24/7.
What types of bottles do you accept?
We accept all types of whiskey including bourbon, scotch, Japanese whisky, Irish whiskey, and rye. Bottles must be unopened and in good condition. We also accept rare cognacs, fine wines, and premium spirits. Minimum values typically start at $100 per bottle, but we evaluate all collections.
How long does the entire process take?
From initial appraisal to final payment: Appraisal takes 24-48 hours, collection scheduling within 1 week, authentication and cataloging 3-5 days, auction listing in next available sale (weekly), and payment within 7 days of sale completion. Total timeline is typically 2-4 weeks depending on collection size.
Are there any upfront costs or hidden fees?
Absolutely no upfront costs or hidden fees. No storage fees, no photography fees, no marketing fees, no insurance fees. If your bottles don't sell, you pay nothing. Simple and transparent.
