Bennett's Artifact Auctions
A refreshing new approach to buying Authentic Artifacts!
Three years ago Bennett's began conducting artifact auctions with one main goal in mind – Authenticity.
With most all other artifact auction houses operating under the shroud of “buyer beware” and no-return fine print while offering at best a mixed-bag assortment for buyers to wade through, Bennett's decided a new approach was needed in the artifact auction world. That new approach was buyer protection and a focus on authenticity. With that in mind, we centered our auction offerings around protecting our customers as best as we can by pre-screening all the items presented for sale and then combining that with a very liberal 30 day “no questions asked” return policy. Now, Bennett's has grown to a become a solid venue of monthly auctions where collectors can bid with confidence on artifacts from every region of the country.
While no one is perfect, and there is always a possibility of a rogue bad point slipping past our screening process, we will never bury you in fine print on why you cannot return an item, Nor will we tell you who you must have your items inspected by. Our policy is simple: If you do not feel comfortable with any items bought through a Bennett's Auction, you have a full 30 days to look it over and return it for a full refund including buyer's premium. No hoops to jump through. No red tape. No fine print.
Collecting is a hobby, and hobbies are meant to be fun. Getting stuck with unwanted reproductions not only detracts from enjoying the great hobby of relic collecting, it can also quickly affect the investment value of your collection.
We look forward to seeing you either in-person or online for our next artifact sale, and we are excited to help you build a clean fake-free collection that will appreciate in value and provide years of enjoyment.
Can I Consign Relics To Bennett's Auctions?
Sure! Whether you have a single item or an entire collection, Bennett's is a great choice for quickly turning your artifacts back in to cash! We are always looking for authentic artifacts valued at $100 and up – just give us a call!
Why should I choose Bennett's to auction my relics?
Consignors are usually looking for two things when considering selling their relics:
- Maximizing the sale price realized
- How long it takes to get your relics to the auction block
As Bennett's works on a flat 15% commission, maximizing the final sale price is equally as important to us as to our consignors. Our full color catalogs, hundreds of printed flyers and website advertising helps us to get the word out and attract interest in our auctions. By listing ALL of our sales online for real-time bidding through Proxibid opens our sales up to customers from coast-to-coast who log in to place their bids on your items. But the best advantage Bennett's offers for selling artifacts is Buyer Confidence. Buyer confidence is the number one reason collectors will bid more on artifacts in a Bennett's Auction than most all other artifact houses. Auction companies who consistently offer mixed lots of authentic and reproduction items drive their own prices down as buyers tend to bid conservatively when they are not sure which items are really real, and knowing the fine print will not allow them an easy return if the items they are bidding on end up being less than genuine relics.
At Bennett's, we are honored to be able to boast the highest level of buyer confidence due to our long standing reputation for honesty and fair-dealing, and our well known disdain for reproductions. With our prescreening process and our 30 day “No Questions Asked” return policy, our buyers bid liberally and confidently without fear of being stuck with unwanted reproductions.
Another advantage Bennett's has is the ability to offer auctions almost every month. While other auction houses only run several artifact auctions a year, Bennett's full-time auction staff is constantly preparing auctions and holding them on a regular basis. This means that you do not have to submit your artifacts months in advance of a sale while hoping your relics make the final-cut and are included in a sale. We will place your items in a sale usually within a 6 week time period.
