Posted on by

As collectors reach a certain time in their lives the question of disposing of their treasures must be considered .

Leaving the task of obtaining the correct prices to relatives, or the potentially disastrous lottery of selling at auction are far to common options. Those who put collections together will be aware of the subtleties of each item .

To obtain a collection’s full potential it is probably better for the collector to engage in a little market research and set about pricing what they have marketing it while they are in good health ..

Specialist militaria auctioneers ?

Posted on by

One of the collecting fields which remains buoyant is that of War memorabilia or “Militaria” .

By finding this page you might be surprised to learn that specialist dealers such as our selves will equal or better prices recorded as having been achieved in “Militaria” auctions .

What does that mean in financial terms ? By selling directly to dedicated professionals who have established customers you will achieve more money than by risking selling at Auction .

We willingly offer to pay the Auction Hammer price recorded for very similar examples to those items you have. We will provide sellers with links to identical items which are recorded as having been sold so you know you are receiving the correct offer .

You will avoid the potential disappointment of damage to your items or failing to reach the correct price. You will not have deductions taken by the auctioneers for their services .

Time and time again we acquire WW2 items from those who unlike ourselves buy at auction .

If we pay £1000 for an item which has been acquired at auction then we might as well pay it directly and immediately to you . Why you may ask do we want to buy directly from private sellers?

How Does The Antique Trade Work ?

Posted on by

The most common rout that an antique items takes from a private seller to an investor is as follows.

An object that we describe as “Item A” is sent off to auction where is guaranteed to be sold on a set day .. The object is “Knocked down ” to a buyer at the hammer price of £100

after about one month the vendor with receive a payment of £75 .. Back on auction day the buyer pays the Hammer price of £100 plus an additional fee of £30 .

“Item A” is much more likely to have been acquired by a dealer than an end user . “Item A ” will now probably be re offered on Ebay or a specialist website .

The dealer’s asking price for “Item A ” is likely to be £300-£400 and if they a patient they will find a collector or even another dealer who believes a greater price can be asked . How could the original seller achieved a better return than the £75?.

We live in an age where information is at everybody’s fingertips . Had the original seller taken time to research just what specialist websites were asking for items similar to “Item A ” then an email sent to a specialist would have resulted in on offer to buy directly.

Selling in a general auction is a democratic, transparent option favoured when dealing with diseased estates . Traditionally in less enlightened times the auction provided pleasant surprises. Given that generally people were not enlightened achieving a return of £75 for “Item A ” would have been welcome news .

Today it is better to first approach then sell to dedicated professionals. At Arundel Antique Buyers we rely entirely from buying directly . The chances are that we have customers who have travelled from abroad on any given day. In areas such as militaria we are well known in the collecting community. Please call if you wish to learn more about our services .
