Selling or Consigning Your Collection

Selling or Consigning Your Collection?

We can help you sell or evaluate your collection. StampAuctionNetwork® is for Auction firms only. Collectors cannot sell their material at StampAuctionNetwork® directly. However, if you want us to help you find an auction firm with which you can sell your collection outright or consign it for auction, then this feature will help you do that quickly and easily. We've done this for 30 years. So read this to GET STARTED and follow the process.

FIRST — to figure out what you have, watch this excellent video: Inherited stamp collection? What to do! Note this is linked at Philately.Live — follow the link, then press the [Visit Website] button on the left.
If you want an in-person review, use Philately.Live to do a Map search for a dealer in your area. Go to Philately.Live Dealer Search and change the "View" from "Card" to "Map". Then drill down to where you live and see if you can find a stamp dealer near you. Call them and ask if you can bring your collection to them. If you find you have something valuable, come back here and we can help you consign it to auction.
These two resources are also available at the American Philatelic Society: APS Estate Advice and APS Find a Dealer by Zip Code.
NEXT — After you have watched the video or visited a dealer, if you want an evaluation or already know you want to consign or sell, you will need to upload photos and describe your collection. First you will have to Register here. StampAuctionNetwork® members can use our SANConnect process to describe the collection, load images, make an appointment to talk about your collection, and even get online help. You can do that here.
OTHERWISE — If you are not comfortable taking pictures and using our upload option, you can fill out the form below and we will try to help you. Contact Tom Droege at support@StampAuctionNetwork.com with questions or if you need any help filling out the form.
