General Collectables
This section covers the myriad of items not listed in other sections, including some of the most noteworthy items we have sold in recent years. For example, Princess Diana's Raleigh bicycle which was seen on TV all over the world (demonstrating our incredible media coverage), and sold to an American buyer for £44,000.
Other items in high demand include coins, chess sets, sporting items, postcards, garden ornaments, vinyl records and hi-fi, taxidermy, enamel signs and many more. We are used to selling extremely diverse items, and our buying audience is massive.
