2Bottle Registration
With the streamlined process at The Grand Whisky Auction, selling your whisky collection could not be any easier!
Registering your bottles can be done quickly online - when logged into your member account, click on ‘Sell Lots’ in the dashboard and fill out the online form. At this stage you also have the opportunity to provide details of any special characteristics or background information, should you wish. Any damage also must be recorded at this point. Bottle registration is £5 per bottle per auction. (Exc.VAT).
3Bottle Reserve
Once you have added your lot details, you may wish to add a ‘Reserve Price’ to your lot. Adding a reserve to your listing ensures that if your bottle does not meet the reserve price you set, it will not be sold. The reserve fee is charged at £7.50 per lot per auction (Exc VAT).
After registering your bottles - we will confirm your entries by email and the associated fees will be attached.
