We are always looking for new stock, so if you think you have something interesting to sell please do get in touch. Due to the volume of messages we receive we are sadly not able to reply to every one of them. However, if you have something noteworthy then the more details and images you can provide the better. Please use the ‘contact us’ form to get in touch initially. If looking to sell it is important that you state your realistic desired price as ‘make me an offer’ may not get a response. Sometimes we would happily buy your items if we lived closer, but the high cost of shipping to ourselves these days and restoration costs just makes it un-feasible to us (and unfair to you if we offer you peanuts).
We are happy to purchase individual items or complete collections.
Finally and importantly- we do not offer free online valuations of your items. For this the internet is your best source. sorry!
