⚠️BE WARY of organisations or individuals offering cash in exchange for your items. These types of companies are often unregulated, acting illegally or just plain unfair. They are preying on YOUR lack of knowledge to maximise their PERSONAL profits. Selling at auction is fair, transparent, and markets your item to the biggest possible market.
