Thinking of Selling


Prestige Philately is a global leader in the philatelic industry and Australia's only world-class auction house. We have established a reputation for routinely achieving outstanding prices for significant items, and exceptional overall results for our vendors.

The key is competition, and we have shown again and again that we generate more real competition than anyone else in this market.

Unlike most firms, we have written our Vendor Terms in plain English and, again unlike most firms, our terms are designed to provide proper protection for both you the client and Prestige. [Click here to see our Vendor Terms]

At Prestige we believe in partnering with our vendors to achieve maximum returns. We invite you to provide background information that will help us market your material. In particular, how much did you pay for your key items? Where did you buy them, and when? We invite you to highlight unusual items to minimise the chance that we might overlook them. We invite you to submit a list of other collectors who you think might be interested in your material.

We commit to providing you with exceptional levels of service. We offer you expert lotting, describing, and estimating. We offer you the finest catalogues produced in the Southern Hemisphere. We offer you promotional opportunities rarely available elsewhere. We aggressively develop our mailing list to create maximum competition for your material.

And we do all this for a highly competitive all-encompassing fee of 10% on the hammer price of lots that are actually sold. If we fail to sell any item, there is no charge, even if we have chosen to place it on the front of the catalogue, or to advertise it around the world.

At Prestige you are dealing with collectors who understand the effort you have put into acquiring items for your collection. As collectors, we also know what other buyers are looking for. In addition, we keep our finger on the pulse of the market so we have a very good feel for current trends and price levels.

You have invested time, sweat and money in developing your collection. Allow us to provide you with presentation of your material that adequately reflects your commitment. And let us put a smile on your face when you receive your vendor cheque!
