You then decide if you want to accept our offer or not. Should you choose to accept it, you let us know by responding to our offer email. We then send you instructions how to proceed sending the items to us. Once we receive and inspect the items, we send payment (check or Paypal, your choice) right away.

It depends. We buy the patterns that we have demand for. By filling out the form and letting us know what you have, we will get back to you promptly to let you know if we are buying your pattern or not.

 

Whom do you buy from? 

From anybody (private individuals, dealers, collectors, stores), anywhere in the United States. Although we are located in NY, we buy every day from sellers in CA, TX, WA, FL, MO, IL, NV, LA etc. etc.

 

Do I need to be near you in order to sell to you? 

No. We buy from anyone anywhere in the United States.

 

When will I get a response from you to my request for a quote?

Usually within 7-10 business day, not later than 14 business days. We will always respond, whether we are buying your items or not.

 

Do you buy individual pieces or just complete sets? 

We buy everything, from individual pieces to complete sets and collections.

 

Do you provide prices by the piece or by the whole lot? 

By the piece as we may not be purchasing the whole lot based on our current inventory. 

 

Is there any obligation to sell to you by filling out this form? 

No. There is no obligation whatsoever to sell to us by filling out this form. This just lets us tell you what we are paying and you can then decide to accept our offer or not.

 

I need to sell my items quickly because of personal circumstances (moving, need cash). Can you expedite my request?

Sure. Just indicate in your form that you need an answer right away and that this is time-sensitive and well do our best to help you move things quickly and easily.

 

How much do you pay for my stuff? 

It depends. Many patterns we pay the highest in the industry. On some that we have a large supply or very little demand, we pay less. It is worth your while to fill out our form and let us know what you have so that we can get back to you with our highest possible quote. It takes just a minute and you will get an answer as soon as possible.

 

What should I do to get the highest quote?

Make sure to list as much detail as you can. Be sure to name the exact pieces (especially accurate descriptions of the serving pieces) you have and the exact amounts. The more detailed information you provide us with the bigger quote you will get.  And only list items that are in Excellent/Flawless condition as that's the only type we will accept and pay for.

 

How do I get my items to you? 

Either by bringing it down to us yourself or shipping it. For those with 100-150 miles of Airmont, NY (View Map) where we are located (half an hour from NYC) it is worth it to bring it yourself and avoid the hassle and expense of shipping. If you live too far or don't want to drive, you can ship it using the USPS, UPS, or Fedex. Under certain circumstances, we can come and pick it up from you.

I really don't need the hassle of packing and shipping, what can I do? 

As we said, you are very welcome to bring your items down to us. Otherwise shipping is the only option. There are very few dealers in the country who will buy this stuff, especially at the prices we pay, so it is worth your while to get it to us. In certain circumstances, we will pay for the cost of shipping.

 

I don't know how to pack and ship. Can you help? 

Sure read our Shipping Guidelines page for tips and advice or feel free to contact us for additional help.

 

If I bring it down, how long will I have to wait and when will I get paid?

Please call before coming so that you won't have to wait at all. Our usual hours are 9-5 Monday through Thursday, but night and weekend appointments are available by request. Once you drop off your items, we will inspect within 1 to 5 business days depending on time of year.  We can then mail you a check, paypal you or zelle you the payment.

 

How long does it take for me to get paid after I send my items? 

Once your items arrive we do our utmost to have them inspected in seven to fourteen days (depending on the volume of shipments we receive) with payment to follow via the USPS, which may take a few days, depending on your location..

 

How do you pay me? 

There are two options. We can pay you instantly using Paypal or Zelle or we can mail you a check. You get to choose your preference.
