Have Items to Sell or Consign?

Do you have items that you need to disperse from your collection or those of a loved one?  Do you need extra cash fast?  We will purchase a single item or the entire collection.

How does it work?

• Contact us to for a confidential discussion about your item or items
• Send us photos and or video of your items. We can also set up in-person or internet based meetings to help evaluate and examine the items you have.
• We will make an offer for the items that you wish to sell based on our past sales experience, on-line auction data bases, and in-person auction data that we have collected over the past 25 years.
• Once we agree on a sale price, we can close the deal usually within two weeks.

We accept consignments that we will market and sell for you on several different platforms.  These platforms include our website, eBay, shows, and direct marketing to existing customers.  In the near future we will be offering our own auction company, and will have the ability to run several fire antiques auctions per year.

Our consignment rates are extremely competitive with those of auction houses, eBay resellers,  and general line antique dealers.

• Website Consignments- 10% of selling price less credit card fees if applicable
• eBay Consignments- 15% of selling price less eBAy fees
•                 Our feedback is 100% with over 5000 ratings 
• Shows and Direct Marketing- 10% of agreed upon selling price

It is important that we work for you to ensure the most return on your investment.  We will discuss selling platforms and determine the best platform or platforms to sell your items.  We will use our past sales experience, on-line auction data bases, and in-person auction data that we have collected over the past 25 years to assist in determining the best methods for you to realize the best sale prices.

Sadly, the Allentown Spring Melt and auction was cancelled this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, leaving a huge void in the firefighting antiques community.   

We are currently working on setting up a fire antiques auction later this year that will be held in person.  More information will follow as details are worked out.  Be sure to subscribe to our page to ensure you are notified of updates as they are published.

We will be working in the future to bring both live auctions and internet based auctions to the fire collecting community.  We anticipate holding one to two in-person auctions per year as well as several smaller on-line only auctions to serve all of our consignors.
