Consign Your Items With Confidence
Have quality items or a collection to sell? Consign them to our scheduled auctions. We handle the marketing, the sale, and the settlement — you get paid. Simple as that.
Sell Your Items at Auction
Not everything needs a full estate sale. If you have quality individual items — a single piece of jewelry, a coin collection, a tractor, or a few antiques — consignment is often the easiest way to turn them into cash.
Here's how it works: you bring us your items, we include them in our next scheduled consignment auction, and we handle everything — photography, advertising, sale management, and settlement. You never have to lift a finger.
Our commission rates are transparent, our marketing is professional, and our settlement is prompt. That's why sellers across Michigan's Western U.P. trust us with their consignments.

Consignment FAQs
Common questions about consigning with O'Sullivan Auctions.
What is consignment?
Consignment is when you give us your items to sell on your behalf. We include them in our scheduled auctions, handle all marketing and sale logistics, and settle with you after the sale — minus our commission.
What can I consign?
Antiques, collectibles, coins, jewelry, watches, farm equipment, tools, books, rare memorabilia, and complete collections. If you have something specific and aren't sure, give us a call — we're happy to advise.
How much is the commission?
Our commission is transparent and competitive. Rates vary based on the value and type of items. We'll give you a clear, honest number during your free evaluation — no hidden fees.
Do I need to bring items to you?
For most items, yes. But if you have a large collection or items that are difficult to transport, we can arrange pickup or a home visit. Call us to discuss your situation.
How quickly do I get paid?
Settlements are typically issued within 10-14 business days after the sale. You'll receive a detailed breakdown of all items sold and the final amount owed.
What if my items don't sell?
We do not charge you to sell items that don't sell. However, if unsold items are not retrieved within 30 days, storage or disposal fees may apply. Details will be clearly stated in your consignment agreement.
