Chorleys Valuation Days & Auction
GHCT has been chosen as Chorley’s Charity of the Year. As part of this, they will be holding 5 valuation days at Churches around Gloucestershire and North Bristol (see below), as well as including items gained in an Auction.
These valuation days are an opportunity for people to bring their items to the churches and have them valued by an expert from Chorley’s. If the individual decides they would like to enter their item into the Auction, held in October/November, they can choose the percentage of the sale they would like to donate to GHCT. Chorley’s will be waiving the sales fee on this percentage to ensure GHCT gets the most out of these donations.
Example: If someone had a teapot valued at £200 and wanted to donate 50% of the sale price to GHCT, we would receive £100, and the seller would pay only a £100 sales fee instead of £200.
All items put up for auction from the valuation days must include a % to GHCT.
If people are unable to bring items to the valuation days they are able to send images of the items to us (administration@ghct.org.uk) or attend the Chorleys auction house quoting ‘GHCT Charity of the Year’ where items can be valued and entered into the auction.
They will be done in an antique roadshow style format.
