A visual example of what we typically receive in a parcel

A table covered with a typical submission: carded action figures, a tub of Lego, retro consoles and handhelds, a tin of rings, costume jewellery, silver spoons, a compass and old hand tools.

Items we don't usually buy

We rarely accept these items, either because they are fragile or because there's little value in everyday examples.

  • Glass and ceramics
  • Porcelain and china
  • Everyday clothing
  • Generic books and other literature
  • Large furniture
  • DVDs, CDs and VHS tapes
  • Stationery, including plastic pens and biros
  • Modern household electrical appliances
  • Vinyl records
  • Craft materials, such as buttons

If you have any of the items that we don't usually buy that are desirable or of significant value, we may still be interested. Examples of what we may accept are: a first edition, a rare pressing, a piece by a known maker, an item with documented history, desirable band albums.

Items that are in high demand

  • Anything complete: original box, papers, receipts, certificates.
  • Pre-1947 UK silver, gold sovereigns and bullion of any form.
  • Sealed or graded trading cards, particularly vintage and modern chase cards.
  • Vintage and modern toys, including Lego, 1980s–2000s nostalgia and action figures.
  • Retro and modern video games, consoles and gaming memorabilia.
  • New, unused and boxed stock.
  • Named or documented militaria with a traceable history.
  • Working electronics from the last five years, especially Apple.
  • Job lots and end-of-line stock.

What we cannot take

Not a judgement on you — these are legal and practical limits on what we are able to handle.

  • Firearms (including deactivated and imitation firearms), ammunition and explosives
