"Metafair is Compensated Only Via Pre-set Commissions on Final Sales.”

  • There are literally no up-front, back-end, or hidden costs
    on a Metafair-managed sales event


    Metafair.com is an estate sale management, e-commerce services, and consulting brand focused primarily on the online auction space for high-end art, collectibles, antiques, estate jewelry, rugs, and other quality home furnishings.

    The guiding philosophy is simple: the online auction channel of e-sales is no longer a "trend," but an essential segment of 21st-century retail and the sale of highly appraised art and high-quality related merchandise. Yet, the management and execution of this critical function is typically left neither to specialists or professionals, nor is it afforded the strategic prominence it so deserves, to maximize profitable turnover of higher value inventory.

    Metafair fills this gap with expert personnel specially qualified in the valuation of art, collectibles, antiques, and estate jewelry, et al., supported by the streamlined online systems essential for ensuring healthy profit margins. In contrast to the “shopping mall” eBay model, the company avails itself of alternative online auction platforms specifically focused on an affluent target demographic.

    In addition, Metafair outstrips its competition by providing wraparound sales channels no other service can offer:

    Multiple platform online auctions
    Complete turnkey on-premises estate sale management
    Special pre-sale appointments with our network of category-specific collectors
    Brick & mortar display and targeted promotion of in-gallery shows at Matted LIC in New York City.

    We pursue a common goal with our customers – maximizing sales volume and profit. Our multi-channel approach allows maximal exposure to a qualified, affluent marketplace no other service can provide in pursuit of that objective.

    Importantly, since the only compensation Metafair requires is a commission on completed sales, working with us is an entirely risk-free proposition for our clientele.
