consignment auctions
We’ve made consigning with us easier than ever! Just call or text us at 507-508-5334 before you bring your items, and we’ll let you know a good time to swing by. No more waiting for set intake dates—bring your treasures when it works for you! Plus, we’ll make sure someone’s here to help you unload.
drop Off is easy!
we handle the details
We catalog your items, take pictures, and organize them for easy pickup when the auction ends. Your items will most likely be on with other people’s things as well. The nice part about working with Southern Minnesota Auctions is that we deal directly with the people who win the items. We collect the money, pay the sales tax, and within a couple of weeks, you get your check for the items that sold. It’s that easy!
what can i bring?
We’re all about quality here. Our goal is to offer items that appeal to everyone, stuff we know will fly off the shelves, and things that will be a win-win for both our consigners and us. The better you do, the better we do!
Take a look below to see what we will accept and what we won’t. Just a heads up, we do reserve the right to decline certain items, even if they’re on the ‘OK’ list.
