BE A GREEN CUSTOMER We do NOT mail postcards anymore.  Marketing of all auctions (before and after) is done via email.  If you do not have email capabilities, please contact me by phone at 508.487.7281 and I will send you a printed catalogue once they are off the press.  We will utilize constant contact (our email program of choice), facebook, twitter and printed publications (ex: Antiques and the Arts Weekly) to market our auctions.  To join our email list, either email me at the below link or do it on the above button.  (Above button goes directly to constant contact, below directly to my email box).  Either works. 
Thanks, Terry

    Find out what so many people already know....Outer Cape Auctions will make you TOP DOLLAR on your quality early and contemporary
Provincetown Cape Cod  and New England artists.

Every auction we set a new world record for at least one artist! 

In auctions, the buyers are the ones that set a value to a painting: the good and great paintings bring in the top dollar and our buyers are very knowledgeable about the art market.  In fact, Outer Cape Auctions does everything possible to further educate our buyers in that regard.  We are the only auction house that researches and list artist's biographical information.    We also offer to our buyers free auction registration, free paddles, free color catalogues (average catalogue is 28 pages), free hot beverage service, free next day local delivery and more.  Outer Cape Auctions has set the world record in auction for: Henry Hensche, Ross Moffett, Karl Knaths, Helen Sawyer, John Hare, Ada Rayner, Jerry Farnsworth and so many others.  We are a specialty auction house dealing only in art, predominantly from the early and contemporary Provincetown, Cape Cod, New England (North Shore, Gloucester and Rockport) and established American artists. 

    This is why we have been so successful representing the past and present of Provincetown, Cape Cod and New England since 1999.    And our buyers and sellers know it!  Call 508.487.7281 or email us for free auction estimates and information.  

    We offer the quickest payback, terms, conditions and dealings.  We pay within 15 calendar days of the auction and when we say we will pay you...WE PAY YOU!  After all, it is not OUR money, but yours!

Have a star painting?  A painting we call "the museum piece"?  We are prepared to pay you up to 105% of the selling price of this work in auction.  Want to know more?


Are you a museum, art association, organization that has acquired works of art?  Are you thinking of *de-accessioning part or all of the works?  We have extremely attractive terms for such organizations.

*disposal of collections through sale, trade, or research activities is solely for the advancement of the museum's mission. Proceeds from the sale of nonliving collections are to be used consistent with the established standards of the museum's discipline, but in no event shall they be used for anything other than acquisition or direct care of collections.

Are you a patron of such an organization?  Do you donate such works to these organizations to help them cover their cost?  Donating to them offers them 100% less the cost of selling the work(s).  By consigning to us, you can give these organizations more in CASH by consigning these works to us.  After all, selling art is our business.  After all, what these organizations really need is CASH, not art work.
