Valuations

The first step in selling your wine is to get an estimate of what it is worth. Our free Self Valuation Tool lets you search over 50,000 wines and see instant auction estimates drawn from nearly 2 million Australian auction sales records. You can also browse our Historic Wine Values database going back to 1997, or have Sterling do the valuation for you.

Send your list of wines by email, or call our offices on (08) 9388 9955 or FREE CALL 1800 800 959 to speak to our valuer. We will respond within 48 hours with our list of current auction estimates.

Setting Reserves

Reserve prices are confidential, agreed upon in advance of the auction, and understood as the minimum selling price. Sterling prefers to set reserves at a fair market value based on previous sales. If a vendor has great confidence that their wine will sell above historic prices, Sterling will use the higher reserve but may charge a fee if the stock does not sell. Please call us if you want further information on reserve prices for any wine.

Commission Rates

Sterling offers the lowest overall vendor commission rates in Australia, beginning as low as 10%. Actual commission rates depend on the quantity and value of the wines offered, whether reserves are used or not and the ease of cataloguing. The vendor commission is deducted from the selling or hammer price. This charge is payable only when the wine is sold and there is no charge for items that are not sold. In addition there is no minimum handling fee and the commission includes the cost of cataloguing. Please contact Sterling to discuss your commission rates.

Despatch & Delivery

In Perth
Sterling receives wine at the West Leederville WA cellar every working day. Alternatively you can use Australia Post as below.

Anywhere in Australia
In close cooperation with Australia Post, Sterling provides a simple delivery / drop off system using your neighbourhood Post Office. First advise Sterling how much wine and the PO location and we will coordinate with Australia Post. Do not drop without notifying Sterling first or they might not be ready for you.

All high-value consignments and many interstate consignments will be eligible for free freight. Please feel free to discuss freight arrangements with us. Upon delivery into our West Leederville cellars you will be sent a receipt and advised which auction your wine will be entered into. During transit and in storage your wine will be covered at auction values under Sterling's insurance policy.

Payment

You will receive payment in full (net of commissions) approximately 30 days from the date of sale. Earlier payment may be negotiated by special arrangement.

Tax & Confidentiality

All transactions with Sterling are kept strictly confidential. Unless compelled by law, Sterling will not disclose any personal or business information to any external party. For Goods and Services Tax (GST) information please refer to our Terms and Conditions.
