REQUEST AN APPRAISAL

By submitting an appraisal request, you connect with the experts and department overseeing the auction of your goods. They can offer insights into how we assess, promote, and sell items on your behalf. Furthermore, they provide all the necessary information for you to make an informed decision about selling at auction.

CONSIGNING YOUR ITEMS

Lawsons accepts consignments on Mondays and Tuesdays from 8:00am to 4:30pm. We only receive items that have been appraised and approved. Once confirmed, you or your representative may deliver the items along with your email address or appraisal reference. Our team will handle all further steps with care.

    FAQs

    Lawsons employs multiple specialists and we aim to respond within 5 business days. If you do not receive a response within this timeframe, please email us at [email protected]

    Lawsons operate on a consignment basis rather than purchasing items. This means that the items in our auctions are still owned by the seller until they are sold. That way, if an item exceeds our expectation, the seller benefits.

    At Lawsons, we pride ourselves on being the auction house with the fastest payment processing. Sellers receive their payments within 10 business days after an auction concludes.
