Goods may be consigned to us on any Monday or Friday through out the year with out appointment, simply turn up at the Saleroom with your item(s) we will appraise them for you and advise you accordingly as to value and suitability for sale. If you are happy with what we tell you then leave them with us and we will enter them in to our next available sale on your behalf.
We can advise you on estimates, reserves, the right sale for the right item, and even if we feel unable to help you with your item(s) we can nearly always point you in the right direction to somebody who may be able to help you.
If getting down to the saleroom is difficult then we can value by photograph via e-mail – simply send some pics together with your contact details to KEVIN@TURNERS-AUCTIONS.COM and we’ll reply as soon as possible.
For those who have more items or require a more personalised service we can arrange to attend at a property to appraise and value, this may take a day or two to sort out, but we can normally call out within a couple of days if within the Merseyside, West Lancashire or North Wales area. Other areas may require a more specifically planned visit. We will always try to work to your convenience.
As a general rule we do not charge for a call out, but if your require a formal valuation in writing then charges will apply. Obviously this is based upon the specific requirement of you as the client and charges can be discussed and defined prior to our call out, just ask and we will let you know.
