Bottle Submissions
To assist with listing your lots with the most accurate information for prospective buyers, please submit as much detail as accurately as possible to give yourself the best opportunity to get the best price on sale. A listing fee of $4 (including GST) is charged per item.
A editable submission document can be found here – Link
If you are having your bottles collected with our Melbourne complimentary bottle collection service (minimum 6 bottles), please submit a Manual Submission Form with the bottles.

Bottle Reserves
You may add a reserve price to any of your lots. By choosing to use a reserve price, this ensures that your bottle does not sell for any less than the nominated reserve price. A reserve price fee is charged at $6 (inc GST) per lot. Reserve prices however are limited to a maximum 75% of available retail price if the bottles are still available within Australia, 75% of the previous hammer price or 25% on top of the RRP of any sold out new releases within the past 3 months. If you have any queries about this please contact us at [email protected]

After Bottles Are Received
Your lots will be listed in your vendor account in the week leading up to the auction commencement date. This will give you a chance to review and request adjustments to the listing if you have further information to add to it.
You can keep track of the current bids for all your auctions within the vendor account.
We aim to make all payments within 21 days of the auction completion date (sooner depending on the buyer’s payments). We reserve the right to deduct all listing, reserve and other fees from the sale balance such as courier fees and import duties.

Frequent Asked Questions
What is the seller's premium?
There is 0% seller’s premium meaning you keep 100% of the final hammer price (less $4 per listing and $6 reserve price fee if you chose to use it)

If you are a Melbourne local, please contact me at [email protected] to arrange a pickup. (minimum 6 bottles)
What happens if the bids do not reach the reserve price?
If your bottle fails to reach the reserve price during the auction, we will endeavour to get the highest bidder to meet your reserve price if they were within $10 of the reserve. If the highest bidder refuses the offer, you may reenter it into the next auction, request we offer the bottle to the highest bidder at their highest bid or have the bottle returned to you. We can discuss adjusting the reserve to ensure it gets sold in the next auction. Please note that listing and reserve fees will be applicable each time you enter a bottle for auction.
