Best for: furniture, lamps, phones, ceramics, glassware, wall art. They buy outright OR take items on consignment (they sell for you and split the profit). Ask which they prefer.
Find Antique Shops Near Me →Best for: jewelry, coins, electronics, musical instruments. They pay cash fast but usually below market value. Good for quick money, not top dollar. Shop around — prices vary a lot.
Find Pawn Shops Near Me →Best for: high-value items before you sell — art, estate jewelry, rare coins, antique furniture. A certified appraisal costs money but protects you from underselling something worth thousands.
Find Appraisers Near Me →Best for: collections, estate sales, high-end items. They list your item, sell it to the highest bidder, and take a commission (usually 10–25%). Best for getting top market value on the right items.
Find Auction Houses Near Me →Best for: coins, currency, and precious metals. Coin dealers are specialists — they'll give you a more accurate assessment than a general pawn shop. Look for ones that are members of the ANA.
Find Coin Dealers Near Me →Best for: gold, silver, gemstones, vintage jewelry. "We Buy Gold" shops are everywhere — always get at least 3 quotes before selling jewelry. Weight and karat matter most for gold.
Find Jewelry Buyers Near Me →Best for: entire households or large collections. They come to you, price everything, run the sale, and take a commission (usually 30–40%). Great if you have a lot to sell at once.
Find Estate Sale Companies →Best for: lower-value items, vintage clothing, everyday antiques. Goodwill, Salvation Army, and local consignment shops. Not top dollar but easy and fast — and someone else does the selling for you.
Find Consignment Shops →Before you sell anywhere locally, check eBay sold listings for your item first — it only takes 5 minutes and tells you exactly what the market is paying right now. Walk into any shop knowing that number and you'll never get lowballed. Also: photos matter. Clean, well-lit photos on a neutral background get you 30–50% better offers online.
The Broadway/Alamo Heights strip has several multi-dealer antique malls — great for selling or consigning furniture, décor, glassware, and vintage items.
Find on Maps →One of San Antonio's largest flea markets — good place to move vintage items quickly. Vendor booths available by the day or week.
Find on Maps →Texas's biggest auction house — worth the drive or they accept items by mail for high-value coins, art, jewelry, and collectibles. Free online valuation requests.
Request Valuation →Walking in prepared means walking out with more money. Here's what to have ready before you go anywhere.
Multiple angles, close-ups of marks/signatures, any damage. Natural light, no flash. A clean background helps.
Screenshot 3–5 recent sold listings for your item. This is your negotiation anchor — know the market before you walk in.
Where did you get it? Who owned it before? Any receipts, old photos with the item, or documentation adds value.
Know where the marks are before you go — bottom of ceramics, inside jewelry clasps, back of paintings. Bring a photo close-up.
Decide what you'd accept before you walk in — not out loud, just in your head. Walk away if they don't hit it and get another quote.
Never accept the first offer. Visit or call at least 3 different buyers. The spread can be 2–5x between the worst and best offer.
Original boxes, manuals, accessories, and matching pieces can double or triple the value — bring everything.
Gently clean dust and dirt but NEVER polish or restore antiques before appraisal — original patina adds value and polishing destroys it.
If you have something special and you're not sure what to do with it — list it here on MBR first. You set your own price, keep control, and real collectors who know the value will find it. No commission to a pawn shop, no middleman, no lowball offers. That's what this marketplace is for.
