Do I have to deliver the items to you?
For small and medium items, normally yes, because it makes viewing and collection simpler. We can arrange transport at an agreed cost if you cannot deliver. For large or fixed items we catalogue them at your premises and buyers collect from there. Which route suits each item depends on size and weight, and we will advise when you first describe what you have.
