What We Buy
Single pieces, whole collections, entire estates
We buy high-value items with real resale demand, not ordinary household goods.
A good fit is an individual item worth roughly $500 or more, or a collection or estate worth $2,000 or more.
Not sure what you have? Send photos and we'll give you an honest answer either way.
Sell or Consign
Sell outright or consign to auction — we'll tell you which fits
After evaluating your items, we recommend the route that serves you best — and explain exactly why.
Path One
Sell to Us Outright
We make a competitive offer and you're paid in full when we pick the items up.
- Paid at pickup — no waiting
- A quick, certain outcome
- Single items, collections, or entire estates
"A signed contract and a check — the same visit."
Path Two
Consign at Auction
For the right pieces, a public online auction can bring a stronger price, with bidders worldwide.
- Only items we are confident will sell
- Typically 30–60 days from consignment to sale
- Paid about 10 days after your items sell
Compare the two side by side, or submit photos and we'll recommend one.

FAQ
Top questions, answered honestly
What kinds of items do you buy?
We buy high-value items with real resale demand: fine art, antiques, jewelry and watches, gold and sterling silver, designer and mid-century furniture, bronze sculpture, Native American jewelry, pottery, rugs and blankets, advertising signs, antique toys, and collections. Not sure about yours? Send photos and we will give you an honest answer.
Should I sell outright or consign to auction?
It depends on your items and your timeline. Selling outright means you are paid when we pick the items up — fast and certain. Consigning means your items sell at a public online auction, typically in 30–60 days, which can bring a stronger price for the right pieces. We recommend a route after evaluating your items.
What happens if my consigned items don’t sell?
Unsold consignments are rare, because we only accept items we are confident will sell at auction. We assess market demand before taking anything in, explain the commission and expected timeline upfront, and pay you about 10 days after the sale.
What is your commission?
It depends on the total value of the items we pick up. We tell you the exact rate for your items before you commit to anything, so there are no surprises.
How does a complete estate clearout work?
One call empties the property. We evaluate the entire contents, buy or consign everything of value, donate usable items, and dispose of what cannot be sold or donated. You end up with an emptied property and one point of contact for the whole process.
How fast will I hear back?
Within 24 hours of receiving your photos and the property location — we review every submission personally. If it looks like a fit, we make an initial proposal or schedule a visit, typically within five days and sometimes the same day.
