Heritage Entertainment & Music Memorabilia auctions are events watched by the world. Previous auctions have generated national and international press coverage on most every major TV, radio, newspaper and Internet news outlet. Every year, we spend millions of dollars marketing our consignor items to a worldwide audience.

Marketing campaigns begin with press releases to a variety of news organizations announcing important consignments and significant highlights, followed by full-page advertisements in publications such as Shindig!, Record Collector, Los Angeles Times, and Goldmine.

Updates and targeted releases are also regularly mailed, emailed and faxed directly to interested buyers. Heritage Auctions boasts more than 1.1 million collectors in 195 countires worldwide that are bidder-members on our website at HA.com. All of this exposure means more money for each and every piece you consign!

APPRAISAL SERVICES

Heritage Auctions has recently organized its appraisal services into a centralized department that will produce formal fair market value and retail replacement appraisals for estate tax, gift tax, financial planning, insurance and charitable donation purposes. Working with our experts, you will receive thorough, illustrated appraisal reports written in compliance with all IRS, USPAP and Insurance standards. Should you later decide to sell your property listed in a Heritage appraisal, all fees will be rebated in full or on a prorated basis against the seller’s commissions. Heritage Auctions employs the top talent in the appraisal business to give you the best possible information on the value of your collection.

MULTIPLE VENUES TO ACCOMMODATE YOUR ENTIRE COLLECTION

We realize that most collections include a variety of material, from the rare and valuable to the more common. For this reason, Heritage Auctions has established multiple selling venues, several with low lot minimums, so that we can likely handle the entirety of your consignment, rather than “cherry picking” the best material and leaving you with the rest, as many auction houses are renowned for doing.

Heritage’s Signature® auctions are for the most valuable material in your collection. These items are spotlighted in our full-color illustrated catalogs, which are sent to our best buyers. Signature® auctions consist of exciting live floor sessions in which bidders from all over the world compete for your treasures in person, over the phone and through HERITAGE Live!®

Some of your lesser-valued pieces may be featured in a non-floor session, in which bidders participate via mail, fax, Internet, and HERITAGE Live!® By establishing different venues for different types of material, Heritage maximizes the price realized on every piece in your consignment.

Heritage Auctions’ fine reputation is not a matter of chance. It reflects our relentless drive to always improve our services. Innovation is a Heritage trademark, seen in every element of our auction process from policy to technology. We combine this with a strong corporate ethic, uncompromising integrity, transparency and old-fashioned customer service. That’s why we are the largest auction house founded in the United States. We’ve sold and fully settled more than 279,000 consignments, on-time and in-full.

INTERNET AND TECHNOLOGY LEADERSHIP

Heritage Auctions is second to none when it comes to cutting-edge technological innovation. Heritage is one of the first major auction houses to embrace the Internet. On an average day over the last year, more than 51,000 unique collectors visit our website. (Source: SimilarWeb.com).

Heritage maximizes the number of participants in our auctions through two proprietary, user-friendly internet bidding systems. The first one enables the buyers to place bids in the weeks leading up to the auction. This generates millions of dollars in bids from around the globe, pushing prices higher and higher prior to the live auction sessions. With the second proprietary platform, HERITAGE Live!®, we bring the live auction floor to the buyer (no matter where they might be) enabling them to watch the auctioneer and participate in real time with the floor bidders. As the consignor, our technology brings you demand and participation from around the world and top prices for your materials!

The Heritage Auctions website offers an extensive set of tools for both buyers and sellers of Entertainment & Music Memorabilia. The Auction Archives, a record of virtually every lot Heritage has auctioned over the last decade – more than 4.7 million lots across all our auction categories, complete with full-color, enlargeable images, thorough catalog descriptions and auction results – is one of the premier tools available exclusively to Heritage members. No other auction house offers this level of information to their clients. By accessing the archives, potential buyers can easily research pricing trends over several years, making them more confident bidders. More confident bidders equal higher prices.

In addition to the Auction Archives, Heritage also provides the ability for collectors to enter items they’re looking for into MyWantList®. When an item you’ve consigned matches an item on a collector’s MyWantList®, that collector is automatically sent an email notification inviting them to bid on your piece. If that collector is subsequently outbid on a lot, they are invited to bid again. In this way, Heritage maximizes the results for all of your consigned items.

Heritage Auctions utilizes today’s social media platforms to further market your consignment. Our full-time social media specialists are dedicated to posting auction news and creating buzz about highlights on Heritage’s Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn accounts. Video highlights are also uploaded to YouTube, to be viewed and shared by dealers and collectors worldwide. The newest development in Heritage’s technology suite is our live bidding platform, HERITAGE Live!® By logging in at HA.com/Live, interested bidders can follow the auction as it happens, via streaming audio and video, and even place their bids in real time, from anywhere in the world, directly against bidders on the auction floor. With its easy-to-use, intuitive interface, HERITAGE Live!® brings the auction to the bidder, thereby increasing the bids, and the final prices realized, on all your items. Best of all, there’s no additional Buyer’s Premium charged for using this service. HERITAGE Live!® really is the next best thing to being there!

AN OUTSTANDING AUCTION TEAM

Heritage Auctions employs industry leaders in all phases of our operations, from our Consignment Directors – your closest point of contact – who will help you through the entire auction process, to our highly skilled catalogers, talented photographers using state-of-the-art digital imagery, cutting-edge IT staff, award-winning Marketing department, and more. All work together to ensure your items bring top dollar at auction. A worldwide firm, Heritage Auctions maintains offices across the United States and the globe, facilitating important international client demand for your consignment, regardless of a bidder’s location.

MANAGEMENT STABILITY

Since conducting our first auction in 1976, Heritage has flourished under the continuous leadership of its executive team. You can enjoy the confidence that comes from knowing the commitment of our principals:

UNQUESTIONED FINANCIAL STABILITY AND TIMELY PAYMENT

Nothing matters more than financial stability when your check is due, and Heritage Auctions delivers like no other. Heritage enjoys $50 million in equity and owners’ capital.

Under our management team, 279,000+ consignments have been sold and fully settled since 1976.

Thank you for your kindness at the Stallone auction. I traveled from Australia with my dad for the auction. I’ve been a fan of Stallone’s all of my life and those few days were very special to me. I was incredibly happy with the items I bought at the auction. Thank you and congratulations on a great auction, it was truly a once in a lifetime experience. I look forward to taking part in future Heritage Auctions.
