Antique buyers here visiting the Coast

IN today’s trend of downsizing and decluttering our homes, it’s the perfect time to go through those drawers and cupboards and turn those unwanted items into cash.

Antique Buyers, a father-son duo, Mike and Nate, will be travelling to the Sunshine Coast from June 16–21. “We are enthusiastic buyers, particularly interested in gold jewellery, whether broken or intact, antique jewellery, gold and silver coins, collectibles including military medals, and banknotes, as well as mechanical watches,” said Mike Cornish, the company’s chief buyer.

“Everyone has something we want to buy, and nothing is too small for our consideration. We are just as happy to buy one item as we are buying 10,000!”

If you are in doubt about any items you wish to sell, take them in for an instant appraisal. No appointment is needed.

With the gold price still higher than traditional levels, right now is an opportune time to explore your jewellery box and dig out those old gold chains, rings, and brooches to turn them into cash.

“This is an ideal time to sell. We will buy anything made of gold – old jewellery, coins, virtually anything, even gold teeth! We also need silver in any form, including coins and bars of any size,” Mike said.

Check those drawers and cupboards; you may have a rarity lurking amongst your coins.

“We want to see any old foreign coin accumulations. Bags, tins, boxes, folders—however they come—we will be quite happy to go through your coins on the spot and give you an idea of what we can pay. You just never know what can turn up!”

Mechanical watches are urgently needed by the buyers. “Collectors at this stage want brands such as Rolex, Omega, Patek Philippe, Longines, and Seiko, just to mention some. These brands can command good prices depending on the model and condition,” Mike explains. “If you are unsure, bring your watches in for an appraisal.”

Home visits are offered for those unable to make it to a venue, or those with too much to carry—just call Nate on 0426 820 646 to book your appointment.
