Q. I can't attend the auction but I see something I want to bid on. Can I bid absentee?
A. Yes. You don't have to be present to bid on items. See our Absentee Bid page for more information.

Q. What is a "Buyer's Premium"?
A. Virtually all auction houses charge buyers – the winning bidder - a percentage amount on top of the purchase price, which goes to covering the expenses incurred for merchandising, marketing, and achieving a final sale. At the Wilton Theatre Auction Gallery, the Buyer's Premium is 15%.

Q. Do you charge buyers a Florida sales tax?
A. Under Florida law, all purchases are subject to a Sales tax unless you have a Tax Exemption Certificate. If you have a Tax Exemption Certificate, you must provide us with a copy prior to payment.

Q. Can you provide delivery for items I purchase at the auction?
A. The Wilton Theatre Auction Gallery can recommend local delivery services. Rates vary depending on the item, distance, etc.

Q. Do you guarantee any items I purchase?
A. The Wilton Theatre Auction Gallery is in the business of liquidating items for people seeking an immediate sale. All items are sold "as is" and we do not guarantee them. Rest assured, however, that our reputation is extremely important to us and we would never knowingly misrepresent or misinform our buying customers about anything we are contracted to sell. We also hold two days of previews so that our buyers can thoroughly inspect all items.

 

 

 

Q. Why should I choose The Wilton Theatre Auction Gallery to sell my items?
A. We have operated weekly auctions in South Florida for 30 years at our Davie location, and have achieved a reputation for integrity and customer satisfaction. We’ve handled everything from entire estates to small items – from antiques to automobiles.  If you need to sell it, The Wilton Theatre Auction Gallery can help.
 
Q. Why shouldn’t I just try to sell my items myself?
A. Often people come to us after spending a lot of time and expense trying to sell their items on their own.  They have had to field many phone calls and deal with strangers in their home without successfully selling their items. The Wilton Theatre Auction Gallery provides a weekly auction with seating for hundreds of serious buyers, greatly increasing the likelihood of a sale without any inconveniences.
 
Q. What types of items do you have in your auction?
A. The Wilton Theatre Auction Gallery handles a wide variety of items.  This includes all types of furniture (from antiques to contemporary), décor items, art, porcelain, china, jewelry, and collectible items of all kinds.
 
Q. Is there any charge to pick up my items?
A. No, there’s never a charge for pickup.  For smaller items, we recommend you bring them directly to our facility yourself and thereby get the best consignment rates.
 
Q. What happens if my items don’t sell at the auction?
A. Unsold items are rare, however, if an item doesn’t sell at the first auction, we will put it up at subsequent auctions and achieve a high sell-through rate.
