How does your antique house clearance service work?

Here are four common scenarios:

1 If the contents of the house to be cleared have no antiques or collectables with resale value, then we suggest you use a reputable, licensed & insured house clearance company like Abacus.

2 Some of the house clearance contents may have resale value. Common items with resale value include antiques, precious metals, jewellery, collectables and artwork. We'll give you an allowance for these and deduct it against the cost of the clearance.

3 If the majority of your house clearance items are valuable and this value exceeds the clearance costs, we’ll give you the difference (either in cash or cheque).

4 And finally, where the contents of your property have been valued for probate, this value can also be deducted from the cost of your house clearance. No matter which service you need, we can help.

The Best Ways To Sell Your Antiques And Collections

Whether you have a small collection of coins or records or specialise in finer antiques when it comes down to selling them and getting the best deal on them then everyone is in he same boat when it comes to finding the best and easiest ways to sell your goods.

There are many ways of doing this and some work better than others and of course this will depend on the type of antique or collection that you have in your possession. One thing to bear in mind if you have a substantial collection that is popular among collectors then you might be better off splitting the antiques collection and selling it this way because you could get more for it than selling it whole.

An online antiques auction site can be one of the easiest ways to sell your antiques and collections, this is especially so if your antiques collection is very rare or hard to find. There are many online antiques auctions popping up now online with of course one of the biggest being e-bay, the advantage to this is that it can be done from home, requires very little time and doesn’t cost a great deal to advertise your collections or antiques.

An antiques auction house is another alternative but theses are filled with jargon that the majority of people simply don’t understand. If you are thinking of selling at an auction house then you should visit more than one on several occasions to get the feel of them.

Car boot and garage sales are another popular way of selling antiques and collectors frequently go around these in order to pick up bargains and the unusual. This can be an excellent way of getting what you have to offer out there while it costing you very little in the process. Car boot sales are becoming extremely popular and some of the biggest attract hundreds of people throughout the course of a day. However be prepared to haggle over the cost of antiques items as some people who have no idea of an antiques worth will have any idea of the true value of the piece.

Antiques Collectors clubs and online forums are also excellent ways of letting others know what you have and what you want form them. A forum can be especially helpful to the antiques collector who specialises in collecting certain items and they will often post for what they want to add to their collection which makes it easier for you as all you do is to give them a price.

You can also advertise in such as the free-ads papers that are local to communities and certain ones will even have a website where you are able to post and also include photos of the antiques items that you are selling. This is an excellent way of advertising for no or very little cost to you.

Specialist antiques magazines such as antiques trader magazines are not only excellent sources of information but also provide a way of advertising and this is especially helpful for those who collect certain items and wish to expand that antiques collection particularly if the collection is rare, a specialist will offer an excellent price to complete their antiques collection.
