Vintage Cash Cow

[yohohoCrimbo]

Has anyone used these for making some cash from old bits of jewellery?

I used them after my husband died to get rid of all sorts of things. I found them good, however some people who left reviews thought they had not been offered enough. You can decline the offer and the items are returned to you. I think it really depends on whether you want to faff about trying to sell in other ways. I didn't, I wanted to sort his stuff quickly.

Thank you @NewGreenDuck.
I'm glad it worked out easier for you. So sorry for your loss

Bumping this thread back up but asking if it's a good way to get rid of old watches and cameras of fairly low value that belonged to my late parents.

I used them and found them to be honest and I got more than I’d anticipated so I’d say go for it.

If you accept that the items have relatively little value, selling through auctions/EBAY etc take some time and have some costs etc, Marketplace is mostly full of scammers or time wasters, then Vintage Cash Cow for me offered a final solution for little effort. I was quite pleased with my offer.

Thanks for replies. I think it might be a good option. Sometimes there are things that would be a hassle to sell by other means or give away.

I'm also in a dilemma about an engraved silver dish thing. It looks like an ashtray and was a long service thing from Dad's work. He didn't like it much and I have photos of him working that mean a lot more to me. Might send that too. But there's that twang of it being 'personal' because it's engraved.

It's that last box of undecided stuff thing I'm working through

Actually, might not be silver at all, another look is making feel detached from it even more

Solid silver will have a scrap value. Try a local jewellers for that. Jewellery is different because they don't value the stones, workmanship etc for scrap value.

Cheers, I will get it checked out. I think the absence of hallmarks might mean it's not silver at all.

Thanks everyone.
I have old watches, cuff links, brooches and costume jewellery that I’m now ready to part with.

I also have 925 jewellery that I’ll never wear again and I know my DD’s will never be interested in them.

Im not sure what to do about the 4 sets of pearls I have. They’re at least 30 years old. One pair is definitely over 60 years old. What if they’re worth an absolute fortune?! Will Vintage Cash Cow give me an honest price?

It's a good time to sell or scrap anything gold as 9ct is worth approx £28ish/gram and 18ct is worth 56 ish
Silver is worth much less for scrap (about 65p /gram) but potentially jewellers/antique places might buy an interesting piece they might be able to resell.
A relative sold something else via vintage cash cow and felt the price was low, but it its an easy way of offloading stuff without punting it around to lots of different places

I used Vintage Cash cow for lots of old cameras, binoculars etc in good condition. I thought their offer was fairly poor ( less than £1 per unit)but I took it as it was a quick and easy option when I had lots to do clearing my parents house.
