Before you ask
Questions before you start from the first call
Questions that come up before a collection is cleared. Tell us what you need and we will reply in plain terms.
Do you sell on behalf of others, roughly?
No; items are bought outright.
What condition matters most?
Completeness and originality, then the box.
Do you buy single items?
Rarely, unless a piece fits what we already handle.
How is an offer worked out?
From what is there, its condition and the going rate.
Send the essentials and we will confirm what is possible, what it costs and when we could start. Write a few lines and we will do the rest.
