What does an auction house do?

An auction house sells items to the highest bidder, either at a live event or through online bidding. Many also handle estates, downsizing and business liquidations.

How do online auctions work?

Items are listed online with a bidding end time. When bidding closes, winners pay and collect their items at the stated pickup location and times.

Should I hire an auction house or an estate sale company?

Estate sale companies usually price items and sell them in the home over a few days; auction houses sell by bidding. Ask local companies which approach suits your items.
