Tell Us About Your Collection

1. Send Us Your List or Photos

Use the form below or email us with your collection details. Please include the approximate number of pieces, overall condition, and any photos you have.

2. Receive a Fair Offer

We review collections using current market data and condition.
Most offers are ready within 48 hours.

3. Arrange Drop-Off or Shipping

For small to medium collections, we typically ask that items be dropped off at our store.
As a thank you, collections dropped off in person may qualify for an offer increase of up to 5%, depending on size, condition, and completeness.

If drop-off isn’t possible, we’re happy to provide a prepaid shipping label. Shipping costs are deducted from the offer at cost. We receive excellent shipping rates, so this usually does not result in a significant change to the overall offer.

For larger collections that require skids or pallets, we arrange freight shipping. Items must be securely packed into boxes and placed onto skids or pallets prior to pickup.

Collection Size Guide

(For reference)

Small collection: one box to a few boxes

Medium collection: multiple boxes, manageable by car or SUV

If you’re unsure where your collection fits, we’re happy to review photos and advise on the best option.
