Buying, selling and supplies

Bringing in a collection

Bring the whole shoebox.

  1. Leave it as it is

    Please don’t clean coins or soak stamps off paper. Bring albums, boxes and envelopes just as they were kept.

  2. Pick a time

    Ask for a look-through at the counter, free and usually 30 to 60 minutes. For more than a few boxes, we come to you, free within 30 miles.

  3. Go through it together

    We sort it with you and tell you what we know about each part, including what we would not buy and why.

  4. Decide in your own time

    We offer for all of it or part of it. Say yes and we pay by check the same day; say no and it all goes home with you.

First Thursday of the month, 6:30pm to 9pm

Collectors’ evening, free at the counter

Coffee, a swap table and a short talk on one topic. Bring what you are working on, or come and look. The next one is Thursday, December 3: holiday covers and the swap table.

The winter evenings

Found a box in the attic?
