Selling at Auction
Why sell with Cellar Link Auctions
At Cellar Link Auctions, we provide a unique opportunity for collectors, estate sales, professionalliquidators, and receivers in Australia to unlock the value of wine and whisky collections. Our platform is designed to facilitate the buying and selling of investment-grade and collectable spiritsand liqueurs, ensuring a seamless and legal transaction process.
Selling Your Collection Made Easy
Creating a seller account with us is quick and straightforward, requiring just one minute of your time. However, it's important to note that private alcohol sales in Australia are regulated, requiring a liquor license for such transactions. Fortunately, Cellar Link Auctions navigates these legalities on your behalf, offering a legitimate avenue to sell your prized collections.
