Following are a few of the reasons why Mayo Auction & Realty will be the ideal solution for you once you are ready to discuss selling your specialty collection:

• We are experienced in handling collections of all types and sizes. Specialty collections are a priority, and we are committed to providing the best service possible to our specialty collectors.
   

• In addition to the many general appeal publications we advertise in, we also aggressively market the auction in periodicals and online avenues specifically geared towards that type of collectible.
   

• We utilize live online bidding at most of our auctions, as well as eBay and other online bidding solutions whenever appropriate, to make sure that we attract worldwide interest in your collectibles. When setting up our Internet auctions, we have several choices available to us. We can use any combination of the following: static Internet bidding (the auction has a defined start and end time, and bidders place bids until the auction ends), live real-time Internet bidding (bidders participate live via the Internet at the same time the crowd in the Auction Center is bidding), and dynamic-ending Internet bidding (the auction has a start and end time, but if someone leaves a bid at the very end of the auction, the ending time will automatically be extended by a predetermined number of minutes to give other bidders a chance to counter-bid).
   

• Each piece of the collection will be professionally photographed, tagged and cataloged. The photos and catalogs will be posted to our website, and direct-mail and email notices will be sent to our database of loyal buyers inviting them to preview the auction online.
   

• The Mayo Auction & Realty Auction Center is equipped with many features suited to specialty collections, including professional display cases; a monitored alarm system; professional photography equipment, and an auction slide show presentation that projects smaller collectibles in great detail. From beginning to end, we will protect and display your lifetime investment as if it were our own.
   

• Throughout the process, our professional staff will utilize state of the art technology to auction your collection professionally and efficiently. Our computerized clerking and inventory control system has many benefits: it ensures careful tracking of your property from the time we receive it until the time it goes home with its new owner; it enables us to accept and execute bids in a variety of formats from bidders all over the world; and it allows us to provide you with a precise accounting of your auction once your collection has sold.

We recognize that each collection is unique in its size, scope and subject matter, and the common element is that the owner has spent a great deal of time, money and effort to gather the items together. In all that we do, we bear in mind that your collection has value that exceeds its material worth, and we treat it accordingly.
