Why sell your antiques to us in Austin, TX?

KINDNESS, Professionalism, FRIENDLINESS

We understand that selling antiques and inherited valuables is a major task. Finding a dealer in Austin is also achallenge to many people that have tried before. We are here to serve you as a guaranteed offer on your valuables. We hope to bring a sense of courtesy to each and every one of our clients along with adding a little extra cash in their pockets for unwanted items. When you choose us as your Austin antique buyers, we do everything we can to provide the best service.

Estate Buyout

When a family member passes, they can leave behind thousands of items with no instructions on what to do with them. It may seem daunting but often these are unknown sources of value in the home. What may look like a simple vase can be highly collectible and worth money! Call a trusted, legacy Austin antique buying business to help!

Hoarding and Cleanout

Our team has handled even the most severe of hoarding situations. While not all hoarding cases may be appropriate for a sale, many are. We can handle the preparation for sale as well as consign valuable items that may be better suited for an off site auction. If you are looking for a Chicago estate sale company, call us to assess the situation.

High End Antique & Art Collections

If you find that you have inherited a large collection of seemingly fine and rare items we are prepared and have secured funding to make competitive offers. This is where enlisting the service and trust of an expert in antiques comes to be of utmost importance. As dealers in high end fine and decorative art, we have the unique ability to ask appropriate, fair and intelligent market prices for your antiques. Explore your options before you decide on a company and make sure you ask them questions about their abilities as an accurate appraiser of current market values.

Cathy Smith

“The staff was very friendly and helpful. The place is immense and has things from many different time periods. I had clothes to sell from my Mother, Charlotte was very empathetic to the history of my items. I feel I got more than a fair price for what I was selling. You can find almost anything you’d like here. Very positive experience.”

Joann Volocyk

“We worked with Charlotte and her team to sell vintage clothing, antiques, unusual collectibles and other items treasured by my aunt. Charlotte was very caring and interested to hear the origins of the items and was particular in her selections of what would work well in the store and the needs of their customers. We were offered very fair prices. Overall, highly recommend Lost Eras to anyone looking to sell valuable treasures, as well as to anyone looking to buy…you’re bound to find what you’re looking for!

FAQs

What are your fees?
Our fee is a flat 35% all around. This includes marketing, labor, set up and professional photography. We try to make it easy for our clients to understand our fee structure so we’ve narrowed it down to a flat percentage with nothing hidden. This excludes some hoarding situations if you need us to prepare a home for sale which has been neglected. Please contact us with details.

What is the procedure?
The procedure is simple for you and your family. We arrange a consultation where we assess the potential value of your family’s personal property and decide the length of time it will take for marketing and set up. Once you agree, we will need access to the home for the weeks prior to the sale. We try to make this as hassle free as possible. We will need all items settled as to what is being kept by the family before photography begins.

How do I know I am getting the most for my stuff?
This is an issue that comes to mind for many sellers not familiar with antiques and have inherited a collection or estate. We love to have informed clients and be fully transparent when it comes to the value of their items. In this business word travels fast and being dishonest when evaluating items consequently has a negative impact for everyone. Ultimately, it is a matter of great importance that we apply fair market value so as to keep our buyers happy and make sure you sell the most possible. Many estate sale companies will undervalue items but it can be even worse to overvalue something. What this leads to is a lot of items left over which is not a good outcome for anyone.
