Why consign with Palm Beach Modern? Consigning your items should be easy,
understandable and profitable. At Palm Beach Modern Auctions and Urban
Culture Auctions it is, and here's how we make that happen:
We make consigning easy and convenient...
Simply send photos and information about your items via email, our website,
or snail mail, and we will get back to you with an estimate. If you're in
our area, we may even be able to set up an appointment wherever the items
are. If the numbers are mutually agreeable, let us know and we'll send you
a contract. Return the signed contract, send your items, and receive a
check shortly after it sells. Our friendly team is here to guide or assist
with everything from shipping recommendations to depositing your proceeds.
No buy-back, photography or insurance fees...
Palm Beach Modern Auctions and Urban Culture Auctions keep it simple so
there are no surprises. Seller's commission and shipping are your only
expenses to consign with PBMA. Our commission structure is a simple sliding
scale based on the value of the merchandise.
More press = more money...
Palm Beach Modern Auctions and Urban Culture Auctions have received
unprecedented worldwide press for individual items and collections
including The Drawings of Karl Lagerfeld, The Studio 54/Steve Rubell
Collection, and The James Dean Jacket. We use a public relations (PR) firm
to put our auctions front and center in the news, because press coverage
brings in more bidders to compete for your items. When multiple bidders
compete, it raises prices realized - often by 10-20% - and that means more
money for your item and in your pocket. You can find articles and videos
about PBMA in the New York Times, NBC, ABC, Daily Mail, Vogue,
Architectural Digest and many more.
More bidders = more money...
When more people see your item, more people compete to buy your item,
ensuring you get the highest price possible. Unlike many other auction
houses, we have a full-time marketing department to develop an individual
marketing plan for each auction. The marketing team's goal is to expose
your items to as many people as possible worldwide. Our comprehensive
strategy includes search engine campaigns and optimization, multiple online
bidding platforms used by hundreds of thousands of bidders, collector
sites, social media, bulk and targeted client emails, and
newspaper/magazine ads. In addition, we produce a printed catalog, send
postcard mailers and maintain informative and easy to use websites.
Location, location, location...
Palm Beach Modern Auctions and Urban Culture Auctions headquarters are in
the affluent Palm Beaches. The Palm Beach 33480 zip code is one of the
richest zip codes in the United States, bringing in a high net worth
audience that is sophisticated and collection acquisition driven. Worldwide
galleries, many who participate in Art Basel Miami, are part of our
aggressive bidding audience. Multiple online bidding platforms, phone and
absentee bidding bring the rest of the world into the room on auction day
for real-time bidding.
Why bid with Palm Beach Modern? Bidding at auction should be easy,
uncomplicated and fun. At Palm Beach Modern Auctions and Urban Culture
Auctions it is, and here's how we make that happen:
You know what you're getting...
We use straightforward language and include multiple photos showing various
angles including construction/condition details, clear and accurate
statements regarding condition of the item, and (when available) include
book/online references and history (provenance) in each of our listings.
Bidders can examine the item in person during our preview period, and we
have a knowledgeable and approachable team available to answer any
questions or concerns. In short, you will know everything we know about the
item prior to bidding. We don't like surprises any more than
you do.
Vetted modern & contemporary...
We specialize in 20th-21st Century art, design and pop culture. You won't
wade through hundreds of antiques in search of Royere chairs, Murakami
prints or Van Cleef & Arpels earrings. Our team carefully examines,
researches, and provides a fair and accurate estimate before offering the
items to you at auction. Our proximity to Palm Beach and Miami plus
worldwide press on our auctions including The Drawings of Karl Lagerfeld,
The Studio 54/Steve Rubell Collection, and The James Dean Jacket, means
that we are bringing to auction the most sought-after and rare pieces from
the most prestigious collections.
Convenient buying options...
We agree, buying at auction should never be intimidating, complicated or
inconvenient. We offer many bidding options so you can choose which is most
comfortable for you. Place your bids in-person on auction day, in real time
via your choice of online platforms, by phone, or by absentee...you get to
decide. If buying electronically is most convenient for you, you will find
that the entire transaction, from your bidder registration to paying your
invoice, can be completed from your phone or computer. If you prefer a
paper form, we offer those options as well. Simply let us know your
preferences and we will point you in the right direction.
Our event-based auctions are fun to attend...
Our auctions are an opportunity to leave your car with the valet and enjoy
themed catering and refreshments while you bid. You might even be surprised
to find a new mural covering the building for an Urban Culture sale or be
greeted by a Diana Ross impersonator as you enter our exhibition space. Our
auctions are always memorable, and we hope to see you at the next event.
Whether you're buying or selling with us - or both, as many of our clients
do - most importantly, you're never alone! Our team is here with prompt and
helpful answers, from questions about items of interest and shipping
options, to buying and selling at auction. If you are having any problems
at all or just want extra help, feel free to contact by phone or email our
Concierge Services Liaison, who has access to all departments and straight
to the top if necessary.
