Guaranteed Cash Now, Plus Extra If Your Items Earn More at Auction


June 2026

When it comes to selling valuable items, most people face a familiar dilemma. Accept a quick offer and wonder if you got a fair price, or go to auction and wait, not quite sure what you will end up with. Our new service, Auction Advance removes that dilemma entirely.

You get a guaranteed payment upfront and if your items sell for more at auction, you receive the extra.

Here's How It Works
  1. Get in touch and we will verify whether your items qualify for Auction Advance. If they do, we arrange a free Royal Mail collection at a time that suits you. No packing stress, no postage costs, nothing to organise beyond a conversation.

  3. Once your items arrive, our specialists assess them and make you a guaranteed upfront payment offer. You are free to accept or decline. There is no obligation and no pressure.

  5. Accept the offer and your guaranteed payment lands in your bank account within 24 hours.

  7. Your items then go forward to auction. If they sell for more than the advance, you receive the additional amount (minus commission) within five working days of buyer payment. If they sell for less, your guaranteed payment is yours to keep in full. You cannot lose what you have already been paid.

Why Auction Advance Works Better


Most instant-buy services profit by paying you less than your items are worth. We do not. Our interests are aligned with yours: when your items perform well at auction, you benefit from that too. You get the security of cash in hand today, combined with the expertise of a specialist auction house that has been selling to serious global buyers for over 30 years.

There are no listings to write, no photographs to take, no buyers to deal with. We handle everything from valuation to sale and our team knows how to put the right items in front of the right people.

Sell With Auction Advance


Auction Advance is available for jewellery, wrist watches and pocket watches, silver, gold, costume jewellery, diamonds and precious stones, handbags and designer accessories, coins and medallions, military and service medals, sporting trophies and medals, vintage and digital cameras and writing instruments.
