What sets Black Belt apart?

Discipline and Excellence

My name is Pri. Over the past decade, my experiences as a buyer in the auction world taught me valuable lessons—especially the importance of delivering exactly what was promised. After encountering items that were broken, damaged, or not as described, I saw an opportunity to raise the bar. When launching Black Belt Auctions, with support and alongside my husband Ken - We made a commitment to uphold the highest standards in everything we do. Our approach is simple: provide detailed, transparent descriptions of every item, including any marks or damage, and back them up with professional photos so buyers know exactly what to expect. I like to say that I bring the discipline of excellence from martial arts into the auction world. We always include shipping insurance on every quote and package we ship, just to be safe. However, we are well versed in packing techniques, that at times can be creative, to prevent issues during shipping. And if anything does go wrong, we jump to make it right as quickly and efficiently as we can. Our mission, what we call our 'Black Belt Style,' seamlessly blends the values of martial arts—dedication, commitment, and excellence—into everything we do.

A bit about Pri:

For the past 10 years, Pri has dedicated herself to martial arts earning 2nd degree Black Belt rank in Goju and Senkotiros, while also simultaneously earning an MBA in Management in 2017, she delved into e-commerce and gaining diverse experiences in the auction industry. Pri has also worked in many fitness venues, managing and instructing clients. She holds a personal training certification through NASM and an associate's in applied science in health studies. In addition to her BA degree. If you have any interest in Kickboxing Fitness or Karate training - Pri would love to speak with you!

The Black Belt Way: 4-Step Process

Send Photos


Initiating the journey of selling your valued items is easy and straightforward. Our process begins with you simply sending us photographs. If you are out of state or cannot send photos, please call and tell us about your situation. Capture wide-angle shots of rooms, individual pieces, artwork, etc. – We emphasize that a wealth of images is invaluable! This helps us get the ball rolling! We find Facebook messenger is a great way to send photos!

Prompt Response

Once we have your photos, we'll connect with you promptly. We often provide free quick insights about your items. Beyond this, your submitted images serve as a foundation, allowing us to comprehend the scope of your selling needs. This comprehension further aids us in appointing the right team member to evaluate your personal property.

Scheduling


Following our prompt review, we will provide our best insights based on the quality and salability of the personal property. If the initial evaluation indicates potential, we will gladly arrange a comprehensive walk-through for larger estates. However, in some cases, the photos provided may help us determine that our services are not the best fit for the job. In this case, we always do our best to point you in a direction.

Contract & Pick-Up


Once we've reached an agreement on the personal property to be sold, we transition to the contract and pick-up phase. We will complete our contract prior to loading your items and schedule the pick-up. For larger estates, please note: It is during this process, we create a comprehensive yet simplified inventory list, capturing items with descriptors like '14K gold bracelet' or 'Bookshelf.' For items such as 'A grouping of DVDs,' we provide a general description without enumerating individual titles or counts. We will review this list with you before leaving.
