Where to sell collectibles

Hello,
My best friend has been ridiculous and tracked up a load of credit card debt. She purchased many collectibles including art work, little trinkets, vinyl records. I wonder whether there are any collectibles websites where she can try to sell. Vinted and eBay is simply too cheap

Do people bother buying these things? Everyone seems to be minimalist these days

Try a car boot?

It depends on the condition and specifics of the items. Some vinyl records are worth a few quid, others only pennies. Trinkets etc, again it varies a lot. If they are small then the website @GameofPhones suggested looks to worth a try. If any of it is gold or valuable jewellery then you could try prestige, or another gold/pawnbroker type place. Don't be disappointed if they don't raise a huge amount of cash though. A lot of stuff might be better off in charity shop just to get it out of the way if it won't really sell.

If they're not fetching decent prices on ebay chances are she won't get much more elsewhere.

Local auction house? They will charge commission but depending on the item may get a better price.

I second using a local auction house. No fuss, no buyer comeback and no packing and posting.

I've recently decluttered and used 2 places local to me - one for some items of value (auction house - 17% commission + VAT) and the other just for general stuff (general auction in local community centre - very low commission).
