ITEM VALUATION
Collections
When describing a collection, an overview of its type, series and completeness helps. You do not need to know every detail right away.

TYPES OF ITEMS
What we value
- Collectibles
- Collections of individual items
- Collections whose contents need to be specified
What is taken into account in the valuation?
- Type, series, edition and visible manufacturer or issuer markings.
- Quantity, completeness and state of preservation, including original packaging.
- Origin and possible rarity; the value of a collection is not automatically the sum of individual prices.
Which photos and details should I add?
Describe the size of the collection, the series or edition and its origin. Add an overall view and photos of the most important details.
Add the type of collection, approximate quantity and any missing parts if you know them. Photograph an overall view and a few important markings or details.
You don't need to know everything. Leave an optional field empty or choose “Don't know”. Photos are recommended, but you can continue without them.
Ordinary phone photos are fine. Please do not include personal data in the photos.
Preliminary valuation and final offer
Based on your description and photos, we give a preliminary valuation. It is not binding. We make the final offer once we have examined the item. The request does not oblige you to sell.
GOOD TO KNOW
Frequently asked questions
Does every item need its own photo?
To start, an overall view of the collection and the most important details are enough. You can add up to six photos to the form. Photographing every single item is not necessary to start.
What does completeness mean?
Describe whether the series or set is complete or whether some part is missing. If you do not know the list, choose “Don't know”.
Is it worth keeping an old box or packaging?
Yes, mention it in the description and add a photo if needed. Original packaging can be relevant for the valuation, but does not prove that the item is genuine on its own.
