Paddle8

Paddle8 is the premier online collecting destination, presenting auctions of extraordinary art, design, jewelry, watches, and collectibles. Using innovative technology, Paddle8 has streamlined the collecting experience by combining the trust and taste of an auction house with efficient operational solutions and a global reach.

Paddle8 focuses on inventory priced between $1,000 and $100,000, all of which is vetted by expert specialists. In short, Paddle8 fills the white space between uncredentialized online marketplace and the traditional brick-and-mortar auction houses.

Paddle8 has also partnered with over 350 non-profit organizations worldwide to present benefit auctions to our global community of 500,000 collectors, helping each organization expand its fundraising results.
