condition, rarity, quality and provenance. Estimates, 
unless otherwise stated, are in Australian dollars, are 
inclusive of GST and do not include the buyer’s 
premium.

There are four ways to bid at auction 
with Menzies:
Bidding in the Room

 Online Bidding 
 Bidding Increments

Requesting an Art Appraisal:
If you are thinking about selling a work of fine art, 
Menzies would be pleased to provide a free initial 
estimate of its auction value. Appraisal requests may be 
submitted via our Online Appraisal Form or by 
contacting one of our specialists directly. Menzies also 
offers appraisals in person at our Sydney and Melbourne 
galleries on Wednesday afternoons, from 2:00 pm to 
5:00 pm. Clients are welcome to bring along their 
artworks at this time; there is no need to make an 
appointment. In some circumstances, Menzies’ 
specialists may be able to appraise artworks in situ at 
your property. Onsite appraisals are generally free of 
charge but a fee may be applicable depending on the 
scope and diversity of the collection. This appraisal fee 
would be fully refundable in the event that these 
artworks are consigned to auction with Menzies.
SELLING ART WITH MENZIES
Consigning your Artwork:
Each consignment is 
subject to a seller’s 
commission which is 
calculated as a 
percentage of the 
hammer price of each 
artwork and is therefore 
payable only if the work 
is sold. In some 
instances, the 
consignment may include 
one-off fees associated 
with a third party – e.g. a 
copyright fee or resale 
royalty payable to the 
artist or their estate. 
Presale Advice:
During the fortnight preceding the auction, you will 
receive a 
pre-sale advice form. This form provides the vendor 
with the option of authorising Menzies to reduce the 
reserve price of an artwork consigned to the sale. 
After-Sale Notification:
Within a few days of the auction taking place, you will 
receive an after-sale advice listing the final hammer price of 
each lot, or, in the event that the artwork went unsold, 
notification that it was ‘passed in’. Payment for lots sold will 
be processed approximately 35 days after the sale. Please 
ensure that you have advised Menzies in advance of your 
preferred method of payment. The final proceeds of sale will 
be equal to the hammer price of each lot sold, less seller’s 
commission and any additional costs as agreed at the time 
of consignment.
Should your artwork go unsold, Menzies’ specialists would advise of 
any post-sale offers. Menzies generally recommends that unsold works 
remain on our premises for several days after the auction, so that they 
may be viewed by any prospective buyers. After this time, unsold 
artworks will be available for collection provided that any outstanding 
fees relating to the consignment have been paid in full.
