Send photographs and a short description
Begin with wide photos of rooms, shelves, cabinets, tables, boxes, or the collection as a whole. Include your town or ZIP and a rough sense of quantity.
HOW IT WORKS
Five clear steps. No obligation. No account to create.
Photographs help determine whether the collection fits Rad Wares’ buying interests and whether a visit makes sense for both sides.
We review the material
We look at category, quantity, condition, location, research needs, and resale practicality. We may request a few closer photographs or ask how the collection was assembled.
Arrange an in-person evaluation when appropriate
For a worthwhile fit, we coordinate a visit at the collection’s location. Longer-distance sellers should send especially broad photographs first.
Receive a direct purchase offer
Rad Wares may propose purchasing the full collection, selected portions, meaningful individual objects, or broader estate contents when practical. Not every inquiry results in an offer.
Complete payment and pickup
If you accept, we arrange payment and removal. Cash, Venmo, or check may be used depending on the transaction. There is no consignment relationship.
A BETTER FIRST PHOTO SET
Show the forest first, then a few interesting trees.
Begin wide
A room, wall of shelves, complete display cabinet, table, or open group of boxes communicates scale.
Then show detail
Add legible marks, labels, signatures, model numbers, damage, and a few representative better pieces.
Keep context
Do not separate accessories, paperwork, boxes, or parts that may belong together.
EXPECTATIONS
Direct buying trades maximum retail pursuit for speed and simplicity.
Selling a collection piece by piece can sometimes produce more gross revenue, but it also requires research, photography, listing, customer service, packing, shipping, returns, fees, and time.
A direct purchase is designed for sellers who value a practical, consolidated transaction. Our offer must leave room for the work, expense, risk, and time involved in reselling the material.
No pressure
You are free to consider the offer, decline it, or choose another selling method. Rad Wares does not guarantee that every collection will receive an offer and does not provide formal certified appraisals.
THE EASY FIRST STEP
Start with a few broad photographs.
You do not need to identify, organize, clean, or price everything first.
