Start your journey today. No risk, no pressure—just honest valuations and fair prices.
Our process is designed to be hassle-free, transparent, and fair. Here's exactly what to expect:
Collect the vintage items you'd like to sell. The more you send, the better the overall valuation. Boxes of collectibles, jewelry, watches, cameras—anything vintage that's held your interest.
Pack securely using our free prepaid postage label or arrange free collection. Your parcel is automatically insured up to $10,000 AUD. Everything is tracked end-to-end.
Your items arrive and are carefully catalogued. I personally evaluate each piece for condition, authenticity, rarity, and market demand. This typically takes 3-5 working days.
I'll call you personally with a no-obligation offer that reflects true market value. We discuss each item, explain valuations, and answer questions. You're in complete control.
If you love the offer, accept it. Payment is processed within 24 hours to your bank account. If you'd prefer to decline, we return your items free of charge—no questions asked.
Accepted items are either restored, catalogued, or passed to collectors within the vintage community. Every treasure gets a second life with people who'll truly appreciate it.
Psychology research shows that transparent processes increase seller confidence by 60%. Unlike generic online services, you're dealing directly with someone who understands vintage restoration, respects craftsmanship, and values the emotional connection people have to their items.
No chatbots. No waiting. You speak directly with me about your collection, concerns, and expectations.

Every parcel is automatically insured for up to $10,000 AUD. Your items are tracked from collection to arrival. We take the safety of your treasures seriously.
I'd love to, but accurate valuations require seeing items in person. Quality, condition, rarity, and authenticity can't be fully assessed from photos alone. The good news? Your items are fully insured and you have absolutely nothing to lose by sending them. If our offer isn't what you expected, we return everything free of charge.
From sending your items to receiving payment: typically 7-12 working days. Shipping takes 2-3 days. Appraisal takes 3-5 days. Once you accept, payment is processed within 24 hours. We move quickly without sacrificing quality evaluation.
Absolutely no charge. We return your items free of charge, fully insured, to your address. No hidden costs. No restocking fees. Our goal is to build trust—and you can't do that by nickel-and-diming customers. We only profit when you're happy.
We're pretty open-minded about vintage items. That said, we don't accept items that are: heavily damaged beyond restoration, potentially stolen or counterfeit, hazardous materials, or items requiring specialized handling. When you contact us, we can discuss any specific items you're unsure about.
Yes! We accept items from anywhere in Australia. Postage is free and insured regardless of location. The beauty of our service is you can be anywhere in Australia and still access expert valuations and fair prices.

I've always been obsessed with old things. As a kid, I'd spend hours at op shops and estate sales, fascinated by the stories behind each piece. A 1970s camera. A tarnished silver ring. A vintage watch with a broken face. To me, these weren't just objects—they were windows into other people's lives and eras.
Over 25+ years, this passion evolved from collecting to restoring. I learned watchmaking from a master horologist. I studied jewelry restoration. I connected with photographers who helped me understand what made certain cameras valuable. I built relationships with dealers, auctioneers, and collectors across Australia.
What struck me was how many people had incredible vintage items gathering dust at home. Family heirlooms. Forgotten collectibles. Things of real value that nobody knew how to sell fairly. Meanwhile, those same people hesitated because they didn't trust online services or didn't know what fair pricing looked like.
Vintage Money Tree was born from this gap. I wanted to create a service built on genuine expertise, transparent pricing, and respect for the emotional connection people have to their treasures. Not a soulless algorithm. Not a quick-flip operation. Just someone who genuinely loves vintage items, understands their value, and wants to connect sellers with the right collectors.
Simple: your vintage items are a money tree growing in your home. Most people don't realize it. A box of old cameras in the attic. Grandmother's jewelry drawer. That collection of watches you inherited. These aren't junk—they're assets with real value. Vintage Money Tree helps you harvest that value fairly.
I'm not just running a business. I personally collect, restore, and study vintage items. Every valuation draws from real knowledge and market experience.
Fair market value. No algorithm guessing. No bottom-dollar offers. Prices reflect what collectors actually pay for items like yours.
Long-term reputation matters more than short-term profit. I treat customers with respect because I want them to recommend us to friends.
Sold items find new homes with collectors who'll appreciate them. Nothing ends up in landfills. Your treasures get a second life.
I'm not an overseas call center. I'm here in Adelaide, South Australia. I understand the local market, have relationships with regional collectors and dealers, and can offer personalized service that generic online platforms can't match. Adelaide has a thriving vintage community, and I'm proud to be part of it.
Watchmaking apprenticeship, jewelry restoration certification, and ongoing education in antique appraisal methods.
