Thirsk Farmers Auction Mart hold a fortnightly Furniture, Antique & collectable sale. The sales in 2006 grew to such a point that in 2007 we moved from monthly to fortnightly sales.
Goods are normally received by our staff on the Monday prior to the sale between 12 noon & 5pm.If you are unable to bring your items to sale we offer a local collection service using loc al hauliers
We also undertake house clearances and have storage facilities on site for the short and medium term. Please enquire for rates and availability
Any electrical items that are brought into the sale are subject to a Portable Appliance Test (PAT test) which is to check that the items are electrically safe and able to be sold through the auction.
The sale takes place on a Tuesday evening. Viewing is from 12 noon until the start of the sale at 5pm. We hold a bi-monthly sale of plants, shrubs and trees from a renowned market gardener. The auction for this starts at 4pm.
The sale is split into three main sections. Firstly the “boxed” lots section which consists of small household goods, books, toys and kitchen equipment. We then move onto the collectable sale held in the foyer of the Auction Mart where a wide range of pictures, glass, porcelain, militaria , collections of china, tea services, coins, stamps and exquisite jewellery are sold. Recently we have had some excellent Mouseman goods come through the sale and have realised excellent prices. Finally the sale is completed by the sale of sofas/settees, large household white goods followed by the auction of modern and antique furniture. Buyers can either pay by cash, debit card or credit card (credit cards attract a 3% surcharge) on the evening of the sale.
