How do I go about purchasing items from PVESA?
Our Scottsdale consignment gallery is open Tuesday - Saturday from 10:00 am until 4 pm. Our consignment and auction season is September - June.
PVESA chooses
high end, custom made, designer inspired, items from
estates and other consignors. We then price, photograph
and publish each item on our web site: www.pvesa.com . Buyers can purchase
these items at our gallery using cash, Visa, Master Card,
Discover, debit cards, or a check with ID.
Buyers can also call us with a credit card. Due to our
high level of sales activity we cannot “hold” items.
Items purchased must be removed in 5 business days.
Consignors can use their
account balance to purchase items
When do you reduce prices?
We price our
items when they arrive in the gallery. About every two
weeks we will lower the price of any unsold items.
Buyers can
leave an offer on any item. For example: instead of paying
the tagged price of $1,000 for a custom sofa a buyer might
leave an offer of $800. When that item is due for a
price reduction to that price, we call the buyer and offer
the item at the reduced price.
What about
buying items at a PVESA auction?
Periodically
we have live and silent auctions at our Scottsdale
Consignment Gallery. We identify items that have not
sold during their consignment period and make one final
markdown assigning a "Buyout" price. Auctions
are lively, with spirited bidding and great deals. A
10% buyer's is added to each winning bid. Winning
bidders have 3 business days to remove auction items.
Silent
Auctions Tuesday - Saturday
Silent
auction items are identified on our web site, www.pvesa.com on Sunday evening. To find these items go to "Items
for Sale" and then "Auction". If you
don't already have a bidder number come by the gallery or
call to register and/or make bid/s. Bidder
numbers are good for the entire season. Each
item will have a "Buyout Price", a price at
which a bidder can purchase the item before the close
of the auction. Bidding begins Tuesday at 10
AM continues through the week until Saturday at noon
when we close the auction , pull the bid sheets and
identify the winning bids.
Live
Auctions
Auction items
will be identified on the web site and buyout prices will
be assigned. The Auction Sale and Preview dates
will be advertised on our web site: www.pvesa.com.
Buyers can purchase at the new “buyout price",
leave their best bids with us, or come to the auction and
be part of the fun. Generally we sell 30 -35% of auction
items at the Auction Sale and Preview.
Registered bidders can preview the items prior to
the live auction and on auction night bidders will bid by
bid number. The PVESA auctioneer will
"call" the auction identifying bids and winning
bidders. All items in all auctions are
sold "as is" and all sales a final.
What If
I am the winning bidder but not sure I now like the item?
Can I cancel the Sale?
We encourage
everyone to bid wisely and responsibly. The moment
the auctioneer says "sold” the title transfers to
the new owner. The sale is final and there are no returns.
Who
will move my item/s?
Buyers are responsible for removing items from the
gallery. PVESA maintains a list of movers that we can
recommend.
How can I
purchase items at a PVESA In Home Estate Sale?
For unique
estates we will hold a private sale at the owner’s home.
This is a great opportunity for our customers to see
custom made, designer inspired furnishings in their
original residential setting. For those special sales we
send out invitations to our private e-mail list. We do not
advertise these sales on our web site, in the media, or
with neighborhood signs. To be included and to be notified
of other PVESA activities send an e-mail to: pvesanewsletter@cox.net.
