  • Send photos with the form — we reply within 24 hours with item-by-item values and an offer
  • Accept online and choose your prepaid label: USPS, FedEx or UPS
  • Pack using our instructions and drop the box off — high-value insurance covers it in transit
  • We inspect on arrival and pay by PayPal or Venmo, usually within 1 business day

  • Don't sort, clean or rebag anything first
  • Pack boxes as they are, filling gaps
  • Pull any obvious valuables (slabs, old keys) into their own box

Who pays for shipping?

We do. Once you accept an offer, we email you a prepaid label for USPS, FedEx or UPS — your choice.
