We have secure storage sites and small business partners to help us safely store live auction items while we are selling them, all across Kentucky.
Some items have a reserve price (the minimum price needed before we sell it) and some are absolute auctions with no reserve.
Auction Listings may be live for 1-30 days to give plenty of time for bidders to have bidding wars.
Some have a “Buy it now” feature so anyone can be the high-bidder and win instantly.
Review the pickup and/or shipping options in each auction listing.
Non-paying bidders will be restricted from future purchases.

More cities are being added soon. Contact us so we can sell your items too!

We will usually schedule the meeting date/time to be the 3rd Saturday of each month between noon and 4pm.If you need to meet up on a different day, there is a $10 “Convenience fee” if you wish to pick-up or drop-off items on a day our Clerk is not on-site.
Learn about our process
The Clerk will receive your items, take pictures and a description and will send it to our auction lister to upload to a live auction. Seller fees are only $1 each (listing, relisting, reserve, cancellation, buy it now), plus a 20% commission if the item sells. We will refund any reserve fees you paid (if it sells) but only on the current auction.
Sign & Pay for the Auction Listing(s)
They will have you sign the Auction Listing Contract and the Consignment Contract then you can pay the seller fees and leave. They will store the item(s) in the secure storage unit while the auction is live for about 1 month.
Wait & Get Paid!
If the item sells instantly with a buyer using the “Buy it now” feature, or if the auction goes for a full month and the highest bidder gets it, we will take payment for it and send you the money for it, minus the 20% commission fee within 30 days. (usually within 1-7 days for all checks to clear and to protect from chargebacks. If it does not sell, either contact us to relist the item (we will bill you $1 to relist and $1 for reserve if you want that), or you can make arrangements to pick up your item(s). If your item sold, then we will mail you a check within 30 days of when the auction ended.

I like that West KY Auctions will store my item while its being sold. It gives me extra space in my garage. If the item sells, that’s a bonus!

I think listing items for a full month will give it plenty of time to get high bids.
