Miniature Whisky Auction Guide
Here at Whisky Online Auctions we offer dedicated miniature auctions. Our miniature auctions are fun and diverse with a terrific range on offer each sale. So, whether you're looking to sell and take advantage of the kind of care and dedication normally only reserved for full-size bottles, or you're after something to collect or drink; our miniature auction offers something for you.
Buying Miniatures
As a buyer, our dedicated miniature auctions offer a great range of rarities and the chance to buy both specific individual miniatures without the hassle of larger bundled job lots. Or carefully crafted job lots for those seeking a little variety or looking for a few unusual minis to drink. This also suits drinkers seeking to sample an exceptional dram but uncertain about whether to go for a full sized version.

Selling Whisky Miniatures
Our dedicated miniature auctions give you as a seller the best possible buying audience of miniature collectors. Often lost in larger mixed sales; miniatures benefit from being given more thorough attention in one of our specialist auctions. This allows greater attention to detail specific to the miniatures themselves and the buyers who seek them.
Miniature Selling Fees
We do not charge a listing fee for miniatures; instead, we charge a varied commission based on the final hammer price. There is no advantage for us but it does work out better for the seller. For example, if we were to charge you an administration fee based on 100 miniatures, the costs would add up to £300 - this is, of course, going to eat into the final payment. We have calculated previous miniature sales based on the table below and our standard charges for selling full-sized bottles and the results favour our varied commission scale. Therefore our sliding commission table below is most cost-effective for those selling miniatures.
| Lower Price | Upper Price | Commission |
|---|---|---|
| £0.01 | £9.99 | 50% |
| £10.00 | £19.99 | 45% |
| £20.00 | £29.99 | 40% |
| £30.00 | £39.99 | 35% |
| £40.00 | £49.99 | 30% |
