Avoid Costly Fees
- 33% Auctioneer fees

Auctioneers typically impose a 33% commission on sales, with potential additional costs for transporting items to the auction room. In case your item remains unsold, there is a possibility of incurring holding fees.
When selling directly to a member of SFN, you have the advantage of dealing with professionals who have expertise in valuing and appraising fine art and antiques. We have a genuine interest in buying antique pieces and may be willing to offer a fairer price than you would make by going directly to auction.

We recently had the pleasure of working with SFN to sell our cherished old grandfather clock, and we couldn’t be happier with the outcome. After seeking appraisals from various auctioneers, we were pleasantly surprised by the consistent figures we received. However, our experience took a remarkable turn when we contacted SFN and connected with Anthony.
From the moment we engaged with Anthony, it was clear that SFN was committed to providing an exceptional service. Not only did Anthony offer us an amount that surpassed our expectations, this taking removing auctioneers fees into account, but he also went above and beyond by personally handling the clock’s transportation. This thoughtful gesture relieved us of any logistical concerns, making the entire process hassle-free.
Exploring different avenues and obtaining multiple appraisals had always been our approach, and we were thrilled to have chosen SFN. Their expertise and dedication to securing the best value for our items became evident through their fair offer and exceptional customer service.
Thanks to SFN and Anthony, we can confidently say that we made a profitable decision. The clock found a new home, and we experienced a genuinely rewarding transaction.
