\u00a0<\/b>More joy less waste<\/span><\/h1>\n

When you love collecting, it\u2019s easy to run out of space for new additions. Perhaps you want to part ways with a once-beloved collection to make room for another, or maybe you\u2019ve inherited items that you sadly just don\u2019t have the room for. It\u2019s often hard to know what to do and where to start with selling \u2013 or even taking to the charity shop \u2013 such things, especially if you\u2019re looking for a quick-fix solution.<\/span><\/p>\n

But before acting too hastily, take a good look at the items you\u2019re thinking of getting rid of. As the saying goes, <\/span>one person\u2019s trinket is another person\u2019s treasure<\/span> and that old silverware that\u2019s been gathering dust in the attic could turn out to be a beloved keepsake to someone else.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So, how do you weed out which items are valuable and even go on to sell these pieces for virtually no risk and minimal effort? This is where<\/span> Vintage Cash Cow<\/span><\/a> comes in.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n

Box it, send it, sell it!<\/span><\/h2>\n

Vintage Cash Cow<\/span><\/a> is designed to make selling your old antiques as fuss-free as possible in a few easy-to-follow steps:<\/span><\/p>\n

1)<\/strong> All you have to do is order a free postage pack. This will contain your free postage labels and a handy guide on how to fill your box for maximum value.<\/span><\/p>\n

2)<\/strong> While you wait for your postage pack to arrive, fill a suitable old box with your items and don\u2019t worry if you find that any items are broken, tangled or have pieces missing, they may still be valuable. If your product is modern, electrical or particularly fragile, it might not be their cup of tea, but you can browse the definitive list of items that aren\u2019t accepted, <\/span>here<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

3)<\/strong> Place your box on bathroom scales to ensure it weighs under 30kg. Then seal it, attach your free postage label, and take it to your local post office or request a free home collection. Easy peasy.<\/span><\/p>\n

4)<\/strong> An expert valuer will review your box then you\u2019ll be offered a fair price for everything within three working days. At this point, you can accept their offer, and you\u2019ll receive the money in your account within 24 hours. Decline the offer, and your items will be safely returned for free. Or, ponder your decision for up to 28 days.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Clear out and cash in<\/span><\/h2>\n

Vintage Cash Cow accepts a wide range of<\/span> antiques<\/span><\/a>,<\/span> including medals and militaria, watches, writing instruments and jewellery. As with most antiques, condition, age and authenticity make a big difference, so they always request that you speak to them first to find out if any specific antiques are worth sending. Jewellery is always worth sending in \u2013 often <\/span>people<\/span> don\u2019t realise their old necklaces, bracelets or brooches have gold, silver or rare gems in them and this, of course, is always a pleasant surprise. <\/span>Antony Charman, co-founder of Vintage Cash Cow, has seen some incredible items come through the door over the years. \u2018Somebody once sent us a gorgeous Rawlins Crown \u2013 a super-rare coin worth around \u00a3100,000. It was a great bit of history,\u2019 he says.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In terms of the minimum and maximum amount you can make, it really depends on the antiques you send in. It\u2019s advisable to collect as many different items as possible to maximise your offer. Most offers range from \u00a315-\u00a350, but a box recently sent by a customer was bought for \u00a317,000! The best part of the service is that you can use it again and again, so the amount of money you can make is endless.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
