SELLING ART WITH MENZIES
Requesting an Art Appraisal

• If you are thinking about selling a work of fine
  art, Menzies would be pleased to provide a free
  initial estimate of its auction value. Appraisal
  requests may be submitted via our Online
  Appraisal Form or by contacting one of our
  specialists directly. Menzies also offers
  appraisals in person at our Sydney and Melbourne
  galleries on Wednesday afternoons, from 200 pm
  to 500 pm. Clients are welcome to bring along
  their artworks at this time there is no need to
  make an appointment. In some circumstances,
  Menzies specialists may be able to appraise
  artworks in situ at your property. Onsite
  appraisals are generally free of charge but a fee
  may be applicable depending on the scope and
  diversity of the collection. This appraisal fee
  would be fully refundable in the event that these
  artworks are consigned to auction with Menzies.

Consigning your Artwork

• Each consignment is subject to a sellers
  commission which is calculated as a percentage of
  the hammer price of each artwork and is therefore
  payable only if the work is sold. In some
  instances, the consignment may include one-off
  fees associated with a third party e.g. a
  copyright fee or resale royalty payable to the
  artist or their estate. 

7
Presale Advice

• During the fortnight preceding the auction, you
  will receive a pre-sale advice form. This form
  provides the vendor with the option of
  authorising Menzies to reduce the reserve price
  of an artwork consigned to the sale. 

8
After-Sale Notification

• Within a few days of the auction taking place,
  you will receive an after-sale advice listing the
  final hammer price of each lot, or, in the event
  that the artwork went unsold, notification that
  it was passed in. Payment for lots sold will be
  processed approximately 35 days after the sale.
  Please ensure that you have advised Menzies in
  advance of your preferred method of payment. The
  final proceeds of sale will be equal to the
  hammer price of each lot sold, less sellers
  commission and any additional costs as agreed at
  the time of consignment.

Should your artwork go unsold, Menzies
specialists would advise of any post-sale offers.
Menzies generally recommends that unsold works
remain on our premises for several days after the
auction, so that they may be viewed by any
prospective buyers. After this time, unsold
artworks will be available for collection
provided that any outstanding fees relating to
the consignment have been paid in full.
