About Us

After helping thousands of clients through downsizing and estate transitions through The Downsizers, we created The Consignors Online Auction House to reimagine how meaningful belongings find new homes. Our specialized team at The Consignors carefully curates each auction, bringing thoughtfully selected items together so bidders can discover pieces ready for new homes.

Our Story & Our Team

Before You Bid

A few helpful details to make your bidding experience smooth, simple, and fun. Practice informed bidding!

To begin bidding, create an account on our website or app. Once your account is set up, you’ll register to bid in each auction you’d like to participate in, which helps verify your identity and confirms acceptance of the auction’s Terms and Conditions.

Yes, preview appointments are available for local bidders by appointment only on Thursdays. Previews are one-on-one with a team member, and you’ll need to have your lot numbers ready. Open previews are not offered due to how items are organized.

Preview Appointment Details

You can bid in a few easy ways. Place a pre bid before the auction begins, set a max bid to let the system bid for you up to your chosen amount, or bid live as items close. Auctions use set bid increments and a soft close, meaning the clock extends briefly if a bid is placed at the end to keep things fair.

Use the search icon to quickly find items by keyword or lot number. Simple terms work best, like furniture types, materials, or brands. You can also star items to add them to your Watch List, making it easy to follow favorites throughout the auction and keep everything you’re tracking in one place.

Yes. Shipping is available for select items, and some furniture delivery options may apply. Each auction includes a link showing which items are eligible for shipping. All shipping, delivery, and pick-up scheduling is coordinated through text and email using our shipping platform.

Local pick-ups are held on Tuesdays from 2pm–6pm and Wednesdays from 9am–1pm, unless otherwise stated. After each auction closes, winning bidders receive a text and email to schedule a specific pick-up appointment.
