Our Fees

VENDOR FEES

We charge the vendor a commission based on a percentage of the hammer price on each lot.

Commission may be negotiable based on value and size of consignment. Contact our specialists for further information.

Insurance
Insurance is charged at 1% of the hammer price; all items are insured while on Waddington’s premises. The insurance charge may be waived with proof of independent coverage. Please note all prices are in Canadian currency.
