Meet Valarie
"I sent you some costume jewellery, some pearls, sterling silver and a couple of decorative pens. A very nice young man called me and made me a reasonable offer which I accepted and the whole transaction was quite painless."
Meet Deana
"I parcelled up two vintage cameras, just gathering dust in the loft. It's a really easy service to use, so if you've got some bits and bobs lying around that you want to cash in, then it's worth a look."
Meet Helen
"I came across a Hornby train set that my son no longer uses and a lot of old jewellery. I contacted Vintage Cash Cow, and they collected it the following day. Then, I got a call offering me £98 for the lot!"
Meet Gill
"I first heard about them last year and I got £250 for bits of gold, old coins, watches. I’ve done it again this year and I’ve just received another £203. Both amounts have gone to holidays."
Meet Andrew
"I was very happy with the value which we'd have never realised trying to sell the items ourselves, individually. We were very happy and I'm preparing my second box now."
Meet Khyuk
"It’s a really good way to recover some space and generate a bit of cash. The team are very helpful and I would certainly use the service again."

FAQs
Do Vintage Cash Cow give a fair price?
Our team of experts appraise every item to ensure that you receive a fair price. The value of an item depends on its quality, condition, age, and demand, so it is necessary for us to inspect it in person to provide an accurate valuation. If you are not satisfied with the offer, we will return your items at no cost, giving you nothing to lose by sending them in.
Are you a trusted service?
We are a trusted service with over 500,000 customers signed up and more than 10,000 Trustpilot reviews. Your items will be automatically insured for up to £300 through Parcelforce and we can raise your insurance to £1000 - £10,000 for no extra cost.
Is it free to send my items?
Absolutely! Our service is designed to be 100% free, whether you send your items to us or request them to be returned after declining our offer.
How can I send my box of items to you?
Sending your box to us is free, easy and safe. We pay for and insure every parcel you send for up to £300 using a tracked Parcelforce service.
There are two ways you can send your box to us:
1) Using your pre-paid postage labels
When you order your free selling guide, we include two pre-paid postage labels and sender details stickers. After packing your box, please stick one postage label and one sender details sticker to the outside, and then take your box to any UK Post Office - click here to find your nearest Post Office branch.
The Post Office will accept the parcel at no cost to you; then, we'll begin appraising your items when your box arrives in our Leeds-based facility.
2) By booking a free home collection
After signing up, you'll receive various communications to arrange your free Parcelforce home collection service. You can also contact us by phone or email to arrange your collection on a day and time that suits you.
In preparation, please attach your sender details sticker to the box, but not your postage label, as your Parcelforce driver will supply this. If you receive any conflicting information, please ignore it.
How much commission do you charge when you sell my items?
None at all. Unlike auction houses and most other platforms, there are zero fees or commission selling items to us.
What happens if I don't like the offer you give me?
We're a no obligation service, so you're welcome to decline any offer made should it not meet your expectations. If you decline our offer, we will return your whole parcel of items at no cost to yourself.
What happens if you value my box, and my items are not worth anything?
Our buying team will let you know via email that your items have not generated an offer on this occasion. We will return your parcel free of charge via Parcelforce.
How long will it take to have my items valued?
Our team of appraisers will value your box within 3-5 working days of it arriving at VCC HQ. Once we have your offer ready, you'll then receive a phonecall from our friendly buying team with the details.
My item is not listed in the items you accept. Can I still send it to you?
Unfortunately, we do not accept items that are not specified on our site. If you believe you have an item that would be of interest to our experts, you can call our customer service team who will be happy to assist you.
Please phone our customer service team on: 0800 246 1111 or send us an email at [email protected]
Can I send photos of my items to you before I post them?
Of course! We cannot give you an estimate of the value, but we can tell you if your items are acceptable to send. Click here to email your photographs to our team.
How do I receive my offer?
A vintage advisor will call you with an offer once we've received and valued your items. You’ll get an explanation of the offer and an opportunity to ask any questions. If we are unable to reach you, we send an email and SMS message requesting you to contact us.
I only have one item, can I send it?
Maybe. Our service is designed to help you declutter in bulk, so we would prefer you to send 10 items or more. However, if you believe your item is really special, please get in touch to see if it is suitable.
Can I speak to someone?
Yes, you can choose from a range of ways to speak to us:
Call us on 0800 246 1111
Arrange call back
Message us on Facebook
Email us at [email protected]
I'm not able to visit a Post Office. Can I arrange a home collection?
Of course! Our home collection service is free for all of our customers. If you'd like to book your slot, please call us on 0800 246 1111.
What if my items are broken or damaged during shipping?
We hope this never happens but if your items are damaged, we will handle any claim on your behalf. Your parcel is insured for up to £300 as standard, through Parcelforce. However, if you believe your items are worth more, we can raise your insurance to £1,000 or £10,000.
Can you give me a quote before I send?
No, unfortunately, this isn’t possible. The value of an item is very dependent on quality, condition, age and demand so we must see it in person to be able to give it a fair valuation. If you are not satisfied with your offer, we will return your items free of charge so you have nothing to lose by sending them in.
