Question 1

Are you Licensed and Insured?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Village Square Auctions & Estate Sales is fully licensed and insured. We are committed to operating legally, ethically, and with full protection for our clients.

Our Auctioneer Licenses: NCAL9385 and NCFL10723.

Question 2

What is the difference between an online auction and an estate sale?

Accepted Answer

For buyers, an online auction allows you to bid on individual items from anywhere using our secure HIBID platform. Visit our auction site at villagesquareauctions.hibid.com to browse current and upcoming auctions. This competitive bidding can lead to great deals on unique and valuable items. Estate sales, on the other hand, are held at a physical location on specific days, where buyers purchase items at listed prices without bidding.

For sellers, online auctions are ideal for reaching a broad, global audience and maximizing the sale price of high-value or rare items through competitive bidding. Estate sales offer a personalized, local experience that showcases the full estate or curated collections, perfect for well-maintained, high-quality possessions.

Question 3

How do I consign my items?

Accepted Answer

We start with a personalized consultation to understand your goals and evaluate the quality and type of items you want to consign. Whether fine furnishings, collectibles, or curated pieces, we’ll tailor a plan to maximize your returns.

To help us prepare, please send clear photos of your rooms or items to villagesquareauctions@gmail.com before your consultation. This allows our team to assess your collection and customize our approach.

Items brought to our warehouse should be clean and presentable. If cleaning is needed, a fee may apply, which will be discussed during your consultation.

We focus on well-maintained, desirable items to ensure a premium experience for both consignors and buyers.

Question 4

What payment methods are accepted for auction purchases?

Accepted Answer

We offer secure, convenient payment options for all buyers. Payments can be made through the integrated credit card system on the HIBID platform.

For in-person pickups, buyers may pay with cash or the credit card on file with HIBID. Please note, we do not accept checks.

For all gold and silver purchases, payment must be made via wire transfer or local cash pickup to ensure security and compliance.

If you do not receive your invoice after an auction, kindly check your spam or junk email folders.

Question 5

Do you ship items?

Accepted Answer

YES, we will ship to the address on your HIBID account:

*  If your address is out of state (meaning outside North Carolina), we will automatically ship your items won during the auction to the address on file with HIBID (Please make sure your billing address on HIBID is the same as your Shipping address).  
*  When the auction closes, we will immediately charge your credit card on file with HIBID for the bidding total. 
*  Then your items will be sent to our shipping department, following the process below.

*  If your address is within North Carolina, but you want us to ship them to you, you must email us to begin the process.

The Shipping process: 
*  Your items will be carefully boxed, measured and weighed 
*  We will select the best shipping option for the most economical, secure and safe delivery.
*  If your total shipping value is greater than $100, additional insurance will be added to your fees.
*  Your same credit card will be charged immediately for the shipping and handing fees.
*  You will receive an email with shipping tracking information.

Do you handle firearm auctions?

At Village Square, we expertly manage auctions featuring fine firearms as part of our curated estate sales and online auctions.
