WeBuyVintage host hundreds of antiques, collectables and vintage roadshow events where members of the public can meet our experts face-to-face and sell their goods in-person. Here’s what you can expect from one of our events.
The first thing you should know is where the event is likely to take place. The event locations are announced well in advance and tend to be based in small town and village halls or sometimes in historic venues or locations of significant cultural importance.
We do everything in our power to make the events accessible to everybody - so always try to ensure our venues have toilets available, plenty of seats, and ramp access. Though, if you are unsure, we’d encourage you to contact us before attending to double check.
When you arrive at the venue, you’ll be greeted by one of our colleagues who will direct you to the appropriate area to wait for an expert. At this point, we usually offer you a complimentary slice of cake and a hot drink. The waiting area is a great place to meet like minded attendees, or to perhaps learn a thing or two about antiques.
Once it is your turn for an appraisal, you’ll be guided to one of our experts at an appraisal table. The appraiser will ask you about your item and examine it more closely. They will then make you a no-obligation cash offer for the item.
You can accept your cash offer and get paid by the expert, or you can choose to keep your item instead.
It’s worth noting that not all items will be valuable, and some may even be worth less than what you paid for them. However, the appraisal process can still be a fascinating experience full of learnings about the history and provenance of your antiques.
Overall attending a WeBuyVintage Antiques, Collectables and Vintage Roadshow event is an enjoyable opportunity to socialise, learn and sell potentially valuable items in a discreet and safe environment.
