Don’t see your items listed?

Send us a few photos! We consider a wide variety of household items based on condition and resale demand. Every request is reviewed.

Condition

Items should be reasonably clean, well cared for, and suitable for resale. Vintage and antique pieces can have normal wear.

What we don’t buy

Coins, gold, silver, and fine jewelry. We also don’t take on hoarding cleanouts, heavily unsanitary properties, or homes mostly filled with trash or damaged goods.

Good photos help

A photo of each room for bigger projects, close-ups of any maker’s marks or labels, and a quick shot of any damage. Clear photos let us give you an answer quickly.
