A consignment page that filters the obvious no before it reaches your phone

A consignment auction website works when the page states plainly what your house accepts, so a call about an item you never take never happens in the first place.

Who it is for

Is consignment auction website right for your house?

This is for an auction house that relies on consignors and spends too much time on calls about items it will never accept. It suits houses that want a clear consignment policy page and a short intake form that sends photos and descriptions to the right person, before anyone books a walkthrough.

Signs you need it
  • Consignors call about categories you never take.
  • Item photos arrive by text, email and social messages in no order.
  • Your staff retype inquiries into the CRM by hand.
  • Sellers do not know what to bring to a drop-off appointment.

How the work runs

How is consignment auction website done, step by step?

  1. Step 1Write your policyYou tell us what you accept and how commission generally works; we write it plainly.
  2. Step 2Build the intake formA short form asks for category, description and photos, and nothing you will not use.
  3. Step 3Route submissionsSubmissions go to your CRM or inbox by API, Zapier or Make, tagged so they reach the right person.
  4. Step 4Adjust by seasonWhen you pause a category or open a new one, the page and form are updated as a revision.

01

A page that answers before someone calls

The consignment page states what categories you accept, roughly how commission and buyer's premium work in the terms you provide, and what a seller should bring to a walkthrough or drop-off appointment. Written clearly, that page alone answers most of the questions that otherwise come in one phone call at a time.

Infographic with Tamtam the howler monkey mascot: How a consignment enquiry flows. A written consignment policy. A short intake form. CRM or inbox routing. An appointment scheduling link. You still decide.

02

A short form instead of a long email thread

A short intake form collects photos, a category and a brief description, then routes straight into your CRM or inbox through a direct API, Zapier or Make, so the first contact from a potential consignor is something you can act on immediately rather than a scattered email you have to chase for details.

03

You still decide, the page just filters

Nothing here makes an acceptance decision for you. The page and form exist to give you better information faster, so the calls and messages that do reach you are from sellers whose items already fit what you sell, rather than a mix of everything.

Client reviews for this service

What houses say about consignment auction website

  • Before this, sending our auction collection guidance form felt like posting a letter into the dark. The acknowledgment explains the next step clearly and tells people how to reach us if something is wrong. A modest change with an outsized effect on our mornings.

  • Our follow-ups on auction collection guidance used to arrive disguised as brand-new inquiries. The follow-up route asks for a reference and the question itself, nothing more. It respects the fact that a conversation already exists.

Comes with it

What else comes with every build

The parts of the package that matter most alongside this service, and the plans that carry them.

Compare the plans

Timeline and cost

How long does it take, and what does it cost?

consignment auction website is part of every plan, not a separate project fee. What changes between plans is the launch time, the article volume and the AI Engine. The $697 build fee is invoiced only after launch and your approval.

The three plans
PlanMonthlyLive inArticles a weekAI Engine
Ring$1277 days2Not on this plan
Block$267 + AI usage10 days2Included
Rostrum$64715 days3Included

What drives the choice: how fast you need to launch, whether after-hours calls and texts need answering, and how much you want published each week. 5 revisions a month on every plan, then $20 each.

Guarantees, with the conditions

What is guaranteed on consignment auction website?

Less than with a one-off build. You see the finished site before the build fee is invoiced, and the promises below are written into the terms, with their limits stated right next to them.

  • The build fee comes after you approve

    The $697 one-time build fee is never charged at signup. It is invoiced only once your site is live and you have confirmed you are satisfied with it.

    If you cancel before the build starts, no build fee is charged.

  • 90+ PageSpeed, or we fix it

    Every page we build and host scores 90+ on Google PageSpeed, mobile and desktop. If one falls below that because of our work, we fix it at no charge.

    Does not cover changes made by you or third parties.

  • Local rankings within 3 to 5 months

    Your site starts ranking for local searches in your area within 3 to 5 months of launch. If it has not, we keep doing the search work at no extra charge until it does.

    Covers your area and services, not every term. The remedy is the work, not a refund.

Questions about consignment auction website

Can the form require photos before submission?

Yes, the intake form can require or strongly encourage a photo upload so you have enough information to make a first decision.

Where do submissions go?

Directly into your CRM or inbox by API, Zapier or Make, so nothing arrives only as a form entry you have to check manually.

Can we set different consignment terms for different sale types?

Yes, the policy page can be split by sale type or category where your terms actually differ.

Does this replace our in-person walkthrough process?

No, it filters and organizes inquiries before a walkthrough; the walkthrough and final acceptance decision remain entirely yours.

What does a consignment page and form cost?

Both are included in every plan, from $127 a month plus a $697 build fee after launch. CRM routing is included too.

Can the AI Engine answer consignor questions?

On Block and Rostrum, the chat and receptionist agents answer what you accept and how to book a walkthrough, from the policy you give us, and pass anything about value to a person.

Can the form ask different questions per category?

Yes. A vehicle can ask for mileage and title status, and furniture for dimensions, so each submission arrives with what you need.

Can sellers book a walkthrough from the page?

Yes. The page can link to your appointment scheduling calendar once a seller's item looks like a fit.
