We Want Your Wine!Depending on your collection and preferences, K&L will make you a fair offer to purchase your wine outright, or auction your bottles on our site. While there are advantages to each solution, K&L’s Library Wine Department can help recommend the option that will yield the best results. See below to learn more about each solution: |
|
Sell Your Wines Directly
-
K&L pays by check or store credit after wines have been received and inspected against the list provided. Any discrepancies that result in a price adjustment will be presented for approval to the seller.
-
Checks are sent to the designated seller address via first class mail. Checks cannot be picked up in person.
-
-
We use a wide range of methods to establish a fair market price for the wines that are offered to us. Current market conditions, our own track record with a specific wine, the condition and provenance and also recent auction activity all play a role in our offer.
-
Due to our ability to feature wines in our stores and website, K&L may be able to offer you more for certain wines than you might be able to obtain at auction after commissions - our Library Wine Department can help you decide if your wines are best suited for auction or outright purchase.
Please contact our Old and Rare Wine Department at oldwine@klwines.com to get started with a list of the bottles you would like to sell (Excel preferred).
Auction Your Wines
-
Highly-sought after rare wines that have been properly stored yield the best results at auction.
-
K&L offers one of the lowest commission structures in the industry, including 0% seller's commission if you take our store credit payment option. Your commission (on proceeds paid by check) is determined on the value of your consignment.
-
You will profit from K&L's expansive and loyal customer base - thousands of eyes will be on your lots! Our weekly email highlighting new auction lots is sent to a curated list of our top K&L customers and frequent bidders.
-
K&L puts new auction lots up every day and each lot spends 7 days open for bidding. We do not concurrently list the same wine so your bottles get a “spotlight” and focused bidding.
-
You can request checks easily online from your K&L Credit Account.
-
Visit the Auctions - Selling section of your account and download our preferred Excel template for submitting a list of wines. Alternatively, you can email us at auctions@klwines.com to get started. A K&L Buyer will get in touch with you to discuss per bottle selling ranges and appropriate reserves.
-
Single bottle sales are generally not accepted or items that were given as gifts to the seller. All wine must have a defined provenance and documentation/receipts may be required.
