PBA Galleries - Auctioneers & Appraisers

Sell books online in your own auctions with PBA Galleries!

Why choose the PBA Galleries' Site to auction your items?

  • Established and Reputable Booksellers
    PBA is choosing to work with established and reputable dealers who understand the importance of quality cataloguing and setting meaningful estimates. Selecting the PBA Galleries' site will mean that customers will find quality books, realistic evaluations, better bidding techniques, and a community focused on their interest - books 
  • No Listing Fees, No Signup Fees
    PBA Galleries is the only major online auction site which does not charge sellers in any way to list their items for auction! 
  • Fast, Easy Listing
    PBA's EasyLister and Batch Uploader make listing your books lightning fast and trouble-free so you'll spend more time selling and less time listing. 
  • Dynamic Close of Bids
    pbagalleries.com offers dynamic close of bids. This means that unlike eBAY, where a bidder is shut out at a predetermined time, PBA Galleries' bidders can continue bidding until there has been no other bid within the last four minutes of the closing time. What does this mean for you as a consignor/seller? This means that you will extract the maximum bid based on what the bidder will offer, and not determined by a clock. As a buyer, this means that you will not lose a book while you are still interested in bidding and an arbitrary close is imposed. The PBA online technique is more similar to Gallery Auction bidding where the auctioneer continues to accept bids until there is no further activity. 
  • Category Watch
    Clients will be notified when the books you post for auction match the categories in their Watch List. Potential bidders will receive an e-mail letting them know that books in their field of interest will be coming up for auction. 
  • Focus
    PBA Galleries is focused on rare books, manuscripts, autographs, maps, and atlases. We aren't distracted by other sales of furniture, antiques, art, or real estate. The PBA site attracts the community of collectors of rare and antiquarian books.
