Once we receive your bottle(s), we will inspect them for quality and condition, and if they are satisfactory, we will begin the process of preparing them for auction. We will take professional photos, write clear and precise lot descriptions, and go to work promoting your bottles to our global rum fan audience. The bottle(s) will be listed in the next auction that becomes available. Here you may find information about forthcoming auctions.
If your item has been successfully sold, payment is issued to the seller 14 days after the order is delivered.
If a piece with a reserve does not sell, we will automatically re-list it in the subsequent auction (subject to costs) or arrange for delivery back to you (subject to delivery charge).
