Selling with Us
At Dovetails LLC and Auctions Neapolitan, we make selling your items—whether a single piece, a collection, or an entire estate—straightforward, secure, and rewarding. With over 40 years of expertise in auctions, appraisals, and upscale resale, Kathleen and our team collaborate with estate attorneys, executors, institutions, and individuals to provide honest, tailored solutions. Whether you’re downsizing, settling an estate, or parting with cherished pieces, we understand the emotions and complexities involved. Our USPAP-compliant approach, combined with our efforts to navigate market variations, economic shifts, or local challenges, aims to deliver optimal value while fostering trust and clarity.
Cash Purchase: Quick, Competitive Solutions
A cash purchase (buyout) is ideal when quick payment is necessary or more desirable—perfect for urgent financial needs, complex estate settlements, or emotional closure. Whether facing piling bills after a loved one’s passing, unexpected emergencies, or a stressful move, we offer prompt, competitive cash settlements based on our 40 years of market expertise and USPAP-compliant appraisal standards. Our fair prices reflect current trends and our business considerations, with no hidden fees. We handle everything, packing and moving purchased items for a low-stress, no-fuss experience.
Benefits:
For items with wide-ranging value estimates, we recommend auctions to let the market decide their worth. It’s your choice—sell directly for speed or consign for potentially higher returns. Contact us at (239) 262-7333 or email to discuss if a cash purchase fits your needs.
Consignment: Your Advocate for Greater Returns
Consignment is often our recommended choice, as it leverages our expertise to pursue the highest possible return for your items. Unlike a buyout, where buyers and sellers negotiate opposing interests, consignment aligns our 40 years of experience with your goals. We manage every detail—gallery auctions, online platforms, onsite estate or tag sales, or private sales to vetted buyers—using our global reach and local Naples expertise to target the right market. Our competitive rates and transparent process are designed to maximize value without conflicts of interest, though results may vary based on market conditions.
DIY Selling: Is It Worth the Risk?
You might consider selling on your own through online marketplaces (e.g., eBay, Etsy, or local platforms), classifieds, or garage sales. For low-value items, these can work if you have strong digital skills, a clear grasp of current market values, and time to handle marketing, negotiations, and safe transactions. However, high-value items like fine art, jewelry, or antiques rarely achieve their potential in these settings without expert pricing and a trusted network. Risks include undervaluing your pieces, safety concerns, or lost time. Our professional services aim to eliminate these challenges, offering a secure, efficient process tailored to your items’ worth.
Which Option Is Right for You?
The best choice depends on your unique needs, timeline, and items. Consignment typically offers greater returns by tapping our buyer network, while cash purchases provide speed and certainty at a competitive price. If you’re exploring DIY options, we can offer guidance to assess viability. For complex situations, we can tailor a hybrid solution, combining cash purchases, consignment, or DIY strategies to best meet your goals. During a free, no-pressure consultation, we’ll discuss your objectives, evaluate your items, and recommend a path that balances value and practicality, keeping in mind that markets can fluctuate.
