Have any of you used this form to sell off some of the bits and pieces we all accumulate over the years?
The idea is that you put your unwanted jewellery, clocks, brass ornaments, cameras etc in a box and send it off (they give you a pre-paid label). They then pay you what they think its worth.
The snags are obvious, but they will return the whole box if the items are unacceptable, free of charge.
- I'm thinking about it as I have been inherited the clutter from both our mothers as well as my own.
- as I say, thinking about it -

for 'this form' read 'this firm', and delete 'been' from third to last line.
(when WILL I learn to use the Preview button?

You would probably make more money and have more fun doing a car boot or antiques market sale as I did in the 1980s. But you need to know the value of what you are selling.

I agree with BigLouis I used them once and what the gave me was very very low I should have asked for them back but it was a difficult time and I didn’t ( my fault entirely) but I feel they got a lot for a little exchange and wouldn’t use them again

I used them recently. They didn't offer much, but I had realised I had put in something I wanted to keep, so asked for the box back. It came back quickly and better packed than I had sent it
