Sellers guide
Step 1
If your cask is held with Cask Trade, you can simply get in touch. We’ll have the details of the cask on file, and we can help you price the cask for resale, maximising your return. If your cask is stored with another provider, we’ll just need a few extra details - if needed, we can help you gather this information.
Step 2
Once you’re happy with a price, you can choose your options for sale. Your cask(s) can be placed on our available cask list. Your anonymity is guaranteed, and we’ll relay price acceptance or bids to you as soon as we receive them. Our sister website auctionyourcask.com is a second outlet for your cask. For a faster sale, Cask Trade may also purchase your cask or match the cask with one of our trade clients.
Step 3
Once the sale has been agreed, we’ll take care of the rest. We will handle any due diligence and the payment and transfer of ownership. When the funds have cleared, Cask Trade will forward your funds to you, in line with the company’s terms and conditions.
