The work Childhood Collectables takes on, in brief
Three things come up most: a collection to clear, items to sell, or one piece worth chasing.
Where it usually starts
Most first messages are about a loft or an unopened box.
Collections bought
For Collections bought the scope is visiting, sorting through boxes, offering on the whole collection; anything else is agreed in writing.
Sorting and describing
For Sorting and describing the scope is checking condition, photographing, writing honest descriptions; anything else is agreed in writing.
Packing and posting
Packing and posting covers wrapping carefully, posting promptly, keeping proof of postage. Everything else is confirmed in writing first.
Planning and advice
We talk through what you need, what is realistic and what it costs, so you can decide with the full picture in front of you.
