It's just plain foolish to sell in the wrong place!
After our most recent auction, a collector shared their experience – a story that perfectly highlights the importance of choosing the right sales channel. They had previously submitted a valuable item to an auction house in Helsinki with a starting price of €50. Not a single bid was placed, not even at the starting price. Fortunately for the seller, the item remained unsold.
Instead, they contacted us. The same item was listed in Hellman’s March auction with a starting price of just €30 – and ended up selling for over €600.
This is not an exception. Many of our clients have discovered that even if some other auction house promises lower commission fees, it means nothing if the item doesn’t reach the right buyers or fetch its true market value. Hellman Auctions are known for their broad international clientele and results that speak for themselves.
In this case, the collector would have lost hundreds of euros – simply because they were selling in the wrong place.
Don’t take unnecessary risks. Sell where your valuable items and collections get the attention – and the price – they truly deserve.
