Selling your bottles with Whisky Trades couldn’t be easier. By clicking on Register Lots you’ll enter in our lot registration page and just need to fill out the required fields.

Please let us know about any info or special facts you think we need to know and you would like to be mentioned.

You will also have the option to set a Reserve Price on any of your lots. The reserve is the minimum price that must be bid for a lot before it can be sold\won. The fee for setting a reserve price is 5€ (+VAT).

For advice on reserve prices for selling at auction, please e-mail info@whiskytades.com

You can request a free optional valuation for your bottle(s), by simply filling the request valuation page. All valuations are indicative and based on historic auction values, meaning no prices are guaranteed.
