Valuations & Selling Individual Items
For valuations, we recommend seeking out your local auctioneers. Clicking a name in the list* below (auctioneers, book buyers, stamp agents/dealers) will take you to the associated website. You’ll find more advice on contacting auctioneers below the list. Some auctioneers and related businesses in Ireland include:
Some auctioneers offer a free valuation estimate by email. When requesting a valuation by email, it’s important to provide as much information as possible. Relevant points might include:
- How long you or your family have had the item
- When or how it came into your possession
- What materials the item is made of
- The size and/or weight of the item
- Details of any marks, stamps or signatures on the item
Any such information you can provide about the item may prove helpful. You should also include photographs that portray the item as accurately as possible, making sure to include any marks, stamps or signatures as well.
Bear in mind that a valuation is an estimate only, and valuations made by email may not be given with the same confidence as valuations made in person. However, it can help you determine whether to bring an item to the auctioneers for further inspection, and whether to submit the item for auction.
