Sharp
Auction’s Unique Auction Event –
A new
platform for high-end collections!
As
avid collectors ourselves we understand what a collection means to
its owner. Building a collection requires an investment of time,
money and considerable effort.
Most collections are not built overnight but over decades,
generally starting with a single item that, for one reason or
another, evoked a strong emotional bond.
As the collection grows it takes on a personality of its own.
Throughout its life, as pieces are added, new elements to its
story are created.
When the time comes to share your
collections with others we understand that it can be difficult and
with some reservation.
Estate and liquidation auctions are great formats for selling
household items, business inventory, and estate contents.
However if you have a large
collection of high-end or
rare collectibles then the traditional auction format might not be
your best option. Sharp
Auctions can help you determine if your collection would benefit
from a “Unique Auction Event” (UAE).

What is a
Unique Auction Event?
Our Unique Auction Event or UAE
takes the traditional auction concept to the next level.
It combines an engaging atmosphere, theatrical staging, and
state of the art auction elements to create an experience that
showcases your collection and shares the appreciation and dedication
it took to create it. We
actively manage and coordinated
all of these elements to drive the bidding process and
increase your profit.
What is our
Unique Auction Event Process?
We utilize our own proprietary
Custom Auction Production techniques to create an auction experience
that is truly unique, exciting, high energy and profitable.
The first step involves an ‘Free”
in home consultation to explain our process, answer your questions
and evaluate your collection. After our evaluation we will be able
to provide you with your best options.
Once you have met with our
consultant and it is determined that a Unique Auction Event is your
best choice, we then put together an event proposal which outlines
the details of your event, this includes;
- Foundation List (preliminary list of top 5 items
that are the cornerstones of the auction)
- Potential event locations
- Initial auction timeline
- Promotional plan
- Auction style & online, phone and absentee bidding
options
- Additional production details
Upon approval of the proposal our team begins working
to finalizing the location details, cataloguing and lotting the
collection, setting the advertising plan in motion and handling all
the little details that it takes to turn you auction into a unique
event.
On the day of your event you will find a
well-choreographed and staged production that will not only
highlight your collection but will reward you with the highest
possible bid price for your items.
