Our Auction Philosophy
Manifest Auctions is a full service auction company. We hold live and online auction events with a strong focus on numismatics, collectibles, decorative arts, and historical memorabilia. We believe that offering a diverse group of rare and desirable items in one auction setting gives consignments the chance to sell for more money than they would otherwise bring in a specialized auction. We like to create a competitive bidding environment where unique items really stand out and get as much exposure as possible.

We are what some would call a boutique auction house. That simply means that we don’t handle everything that comes through the door. We don’t deal with furniture or household goods. We are mostly interested in rare and hard to find collectible items. Our average lot value is usually somewhere around $3,000. Our typical auction has a price range per item of about $500 to $75,000. Please reach out to us if you think you have something that would be a good fit for one of our specialty auctions.
