Show both the collection and the details
A useful collection enquiry starts with a group photograph. It gives a sense of quantity and range. Follow it with clearer images of representative pieces, unusual examples and condition issues.
Keep related parts, original boxes, labels and instructions together where possible. Describe missing components and repairs. Completeness can make a significant difference to whether an object is suitable for resale.
What we may consider
Relevant enquiries can include decorative objects, vintage lighting, selected artwork, old photographs, unusual advertising pieces, tools, retro technology and other categories in our buying guidance. An interesting single object can also be submitted.
Not every collectible is a category we buy. In particular, our current exclusions include trading cards, comics, Beanie Babies and signed sports memorabilia. See the full buying guidance before assembling photographs.
When something might be especially valuable
An online photograph is a starting point, not a formal appraisal. Signatures, makers’ marks, materials, alterations and condition can need direct examination. We may need further information or specialist input before deciding whether to make an offer.
Share what you know about an item’s history, and distinguish family recollection from records or documentation. Please do not polish, refinish or repair something simply for the enquiry.
Price expectations are welcome
The form includes an optional space for an asking price or expectations. Leave it blank if you do not have one. An asking price gives context; it does not create an accepted offer or establish market value.
Send collection photographs and explain whether you want to sell the group together or would consider selected purchases.
