Did you use them?
What did you sell?
How long did it take to receive £££

No, but thinking about it, so following with interest!

Seems too good to be true, at the moment they have a free wine voucher if your stuff is valued over £120.

It’s free postage or collection so not a lot to lose by trying it (other than old tat I just want rid of) so might give it a go.

I did last year. I had a box of vintage meccarno that was in very poor shape. Also, non-digital cameras, a few old toys ( not great condition). I sell vintage bits as a side hobby so had already investigated value/had a go at selling, I had to contact them first to describe what I would be including. They wouldn't take recording equipment. I had a £20 incentive, no min value. My offer was £57 plus £20. Once I agreed to the offer, the payment was processed the same day. They are limited in what they accept. I wouldn't sell anything high value that way.

What kind of items do they take?

The web site has lots of guides which were very helpful, but then you still have to speak to them! But definitely not ceramic or furniture or clothes or books (from memory). I think they are looking for the hidden gems and the stuff that can be perhaps melted down so bits of gold,silver etc. So one of the items I included was a Swiss pewter jug and 6 drinking cups from 1937. No interest on ebay at all. I have no idea where their items go to afterwards - surely not all to auction?

I used them earlier this year. Super simple process - postage is free and then they call you and tell you the valuation. It was pretty low for the goods I sent (various plated silver) BUT I couldn’t face the hassle of trying to get rid of everything separately so took the offer and the money was paid in a few hours I think.
