SELLER
There are no listing fees to enter your Heritage plate into our auctions. All marketing and event costs are covered by Heritage Only, ensuring each plate is presented professionally to our network of collectors and investors. The process is designed to be seamless, transparent, and commercially efficient.
A Vendor’s Premium is a fee paid directly to Heritage Only from the final sale price. This fee covers the service of completing settlement and transferring ownership between the Buyer and the Seller. Heritage Only will deduct the Vendor’s Premium automatically from your final sale price. Our Vendor’s Premium is 3% (incl. GST).
All online bidders are required to undergo a thorough security verification process. If our team determines that a registration does not meet our standards, bidding privileges will not be granted for the auction. These measures effectively mitigate the risk of unethical or fraudulent behavior among online bidders.
The reserve is determined by the seller and Heritage Only.
