Frequently Asked Questions
Consigning - Selling at Auction

How much do you charge to sell?
    We work on a commission bases for auctions conducted at our auction house, as well as on-site auctions.
    General merchandise (household, tools, miscellaneous) - 25% commission.  Other types of sales would be determined on a per auction basis. 

Do you pick up items?
    For a small fee we have a cube van available for pick up in Weber, Davis and Box Elder Counties.  We will take all marketable items back to our Auction House at 17th St. and Washington Blvd., Ogden,Utah.

I have a whole house full (personal or estate) or business I need to liquidate what can you do for me?
    Please call our office and give us details of what you have.  An appointment can be made for the items to be picked up by us (fee), or have one of our auctioneers, at no obligation, visit your site to do a physical inspection of the items to determine the best way to proceed with the auction.  We begin by analyzing your needs and help you decide if an auction is appropriate and whether the auction would be best conducted on-site or moved to our location.  Costs to the seller for the auctioneer services will be determined at this initial meeting.  At on-site auctions we can sell everything that is there in one day. 
    Holding an on-site auction depends on quantity and quality of merchandise, the location, parking, weather, toilets and other aspects of the site. We would be happy to determine what would work best for you. We are fully equipped with our mobile office, folding chairs, tables, portable sound & clerking systems, etc.  In cases where the sellers do not have enough merchandise to warrant their own auction, we can move merchandise to our Auction House.

Do you purchase outright? 
    Yes we have the means to purchase any size estate or individual items.  However, we think it is in your best interest to consign and allow the market to determine the sale prices for you.  Livingston Auction feels very strongly that consignment is usually your better choice and will produce the best return for you.

What happens after Livingston Auction sells my items? 
    Usually, within five to seven days after your auction you will receive a complete, itemized list  of all items sold including lot numbers, descriptions, individual prices, itemized expenses including commission charged and the net total along with a check from Livingston Auction.  

Are there any items you will not take to sell?  Although some of these items might sell at an on-site auction, it is not economically feasible to move items to auction house.
