Most to all of the big auction houses are fully insured, so you shouldn't have to be worry about loss, theft or breakage.
This is true....but please find out the commission rate....some are better than others, and that determines how much you will get..

I have a $3,000 item....do I really want to consign it to a house that is going to charge me 10% and the buyer 20%? They basically will get $900 for handling my item,....that is money I don't see.....you can shop around for the best rate.
