With exacting descriptions, full colour illustrations of auction material both in a printed catalogue and on-line, and a customer base of thousands, Sparks Auctions aims to sell primarily to collectors of top quality stamps. As a result of this philosophy, we pride ourselves on working with private consignors to present their stamps in the best way possible.
Consigned property is sold at Public Auction to the highest bidder at one bidding increment over the next lower bid (underbid). We receive a commission of 20% of this “hammer price” on each lot when it is sold. There are no additional lotting/scanning fees, no insurance fees, taxes, or printing costs. Proceeds of a sale are paid out 45 business days after the auction. You can download a copy of our standard Consignor Agreement at this link.
We are now accepting material for a sale in the spring of 2012. Contact us by e-mail or telephone to discuss anything you might be interested in offering.
