Whether it is an independent antique dealer in Cornwall or an antique mall, there are many options you have to sell your item quickly and get some good cash. However, you are maybe wondering how you can find the right antique dealer in Cornwall and how to make sure you are getting the best deal for your item.

Research an Antique Dealer in Cornwall First

Of course, everything starts with good research and finding an antique dealer in Cornwall does not make any exception. In addition, when selling to an antique dealer in Cornwall, don’t expect them to do all the hard work for you and tell you all the in-depth information about the items you are selling and their value.

An antique dealer in Cornwall most probably won’t be willing to give you an evaluation for free, and rightly so.

When selling items to an antique dealer in Cornwall it is very important to have a realistic idea of the money you will be able to get. After you do the important price-research and before you visit the antique dealer in Cornwall, have a good idea of what price you can get and be prepared to be offered a price usually a quarter to fifty percent off the original or retail price of the items. Don’t be surprised, this is usually how every antique dealer in Cornwall will work. Every antique dealer in Cornwall has overhead expenses, even when selling online. With an antique dealer in Cornwall, you can benefit from quick cash and this is the biggest advantage of this kind of deal.

Be Prepared to State Your Price to an Antique Dealer in Cornwall

When speaking to an antique dealer in Cornwall, you should be prepared to share your asking price during the initial talk. It may seem like a bit of a stressful experience, but it is really not and it’s the common practice, so don’t be afraid to state your price to the antique dealer in Cornwall as it will be the starting point of the whole negotiation process.
