Selling

Consignment With Woody Auction

Testimonials

My parents were longtime collectors of R.S. Prussia.  They were clear that if the collection were ever sold that Woody Auction would be the only one to use.  I can't say enough about the group that works together at Woody's.  From the pickup and transport, cataloging, to the promoting and pricing -- everything was handled at the highest level of professionalism.  Thank you for caring about my parents' treasures and helping me honor their wishes.

After finding Woody Auction online I found an impressive amount of information. I decided to call since I was new to this experience, needing guidance from start to finish. The nicest person listened to all questions and answered with thorough knowledge. I now knew I had found the perfect place to sell my ABPCG Ice Cream Tray. I found a video on their site for packing an item and realized that I would have to double box my perfect ABPCG tray. Woody Auction contacted me as soon as they received the package, in perfect condition. I so appreciate all of the kindness toward my many calls. It was so exciting following the live auction as if I was actually there, until my item came up. Next morning: WOW. Good morning. Such an exciting experience watching your live auction with my #30 ice cream tray obtaining such a fabulous amount of money! I am thrilled! Thank you all for your kind help.

Thank you all so much for everything you did for my mom and dad's Wave Crest collection. All of us siblings are so grateful - and the live shout-out to my mom during the auction meant so much to her.

My desire to have Woody Auction handle the commission of my entire collection is based on several reasons. First, the reputation that Woody has is the best. I know this from past experience when they handled our 2-day sale after we relocated. It was fantastic! Secondly, I have been a buyer for the past 15+ years and have never had a problem. Finally, I know our antiques, paintings, etc. will be presented for auction in the most professional manner and therefore will have the best chance of being sold at the highest dollar value with Woody handling the sale. I chose Woody Auction because I want to know that I am working with the best people when we decide to complete the downsizing. I know we can sleep easy with Woody doing the sale and not some other auction house.

Woody Auction is the best! I would give them a 10 star rating, if possible. I have used them for two or three auctions to sell items. Jason and the ladies are by far the best. When they say they will contact you, they do so in a timely manner. I would not buy or sell anything except at Woody Auction.

On October 9, 2021, Woody Auction sold our private hand-painted porcelain collection. This collection consisted of antique hand-painted porcelain done by artists at the Pickard Studio and related Chicago area studios, mainly during the 1890--1925-time frame. My wife and I spent over 35 years selecting the pieces for this collection. We were early members of the Pickard Collector’s Club which was formed in 1993. Lily was a porcelain artist and was very fond of the richness of the gold trim on many of the pieces we collected.  When I returned to my native state of Kansas, I contacted Jason Woody to see if he was interested in conducting an auction of the collection. Once an agreement was made, Jason and his staff took over the moving of the collection from Arizona to Kansas. The auction process was begun. Jason kept me informed as each step was made leading to the day of the sale. Other members of my family viewed the display with me the day before the sale and we were amazed at how well the items were displayed and lit in the auction hall. Having been involved as a seller in several auctions and a bidder at 100’s of auctions during my lifetime, I felt Jason and his staff ran an extremely professional operation from the day the contract was signed until the last sale lot went across the auction block. I highly recommend Woody Auction.

    • Some regions of the USA are only visited once per year
    • This service comes at no charge, although we wait until there are a few pick-ups in your area.
      • If Woody Auction has agreed to sell your collection, our staff will pack, load, and transport your collection back to our warehouse.

Storage

Your collection is safely stored in a climate-controlled Woody Auction facility.
