Thinking of trying this but have a couple of questions first? Do they offer a price for the whole box you send? Or will they pay for some items but send the rest back?

They offer a price for the whole box otherwise they send it back to you. I speak from personal experience when I say don't bother, the amount they offer is a ridiculously paltry sum and likely much less than what your items are worth

Ah no really? Any other experiences, good or bad?

I used it and thought it was OK. The stuff I sent them had been hanging about for years and I would never have sold it otherwise.
Someone rings you and makes an offer. They tell you which things they won't pay for, but offer to dispose of them. For example an old watch which had no value, they said they'd give to the bbc drama department for use in period dramas.
I was happy with my £80 which I wouldn't otherwise have had.

It's not much money, but worth it if the alternative is the tip or the charity shop!

Think I'll go for it, nothing to lose! Thank you ladies.

I did a box with old watches and cameras, some silver chains, a gold chain, few 1970s toys, kitsch small pewter vase, 80s non silver or gold costume jewellery. In 2 days I got offer by WhatsApp and accepted it. All stuff I would have struggled to get rid of from late parents house. Price offered seemed reasonable. They send you free postage label and all you need to find is a good cardboard box

I used them, sent in a box of sunglasses, 1 set prada, 2 sets of raybans and they offered me 60 quid for lot.

I asked for it back, sold separately on Ebay and got £130.
