How it works
Three things people ask first.
Holding a piece
Ask and we tie a red string on the tag: two days, no charge. For up to 30 days, leave 20% down. It counts toward the price, and you pay the rest when you pick the piece up.
Getting it home
Two of us load it into your car, or we deliver Thursdays and Saturdays: $45 within 25 miles for the first piece, $15 for each piece on the same trip. We carry it to the room you choose.
Selling to us
Tell us what you have. For one piece, bring it in or describe it. For a house full, we come and look, free within 25 miles. We name a price for what we would buy, and you are free to say no.
Questions
Can you tell me what my piece is worth?
We tell you what we know about each piece: what it is made of, about how old it is and what has been repaired. If we want to buy it, we say what we would pay. We don't write valuations for insurance or estates.
Do the clocks keep time?
A clock marked running ran on our wall for a week before we priced it. A clock needs setting level at home; we show you how when you pick it up.
Can I return a piece?
Look it over in the shop before you pay; after that, sales are final. If you are unsure, use the free two-day hold and come back with a tape measure.
Need longer to decide?
Leave 20% down and we keep the piece off the floor for up to 30 days.
