Our focus is on larger collections, from several hundred to many thousands of items. Include the approximate quantity and formats in your enquiry so we can discuss whether the collection is a good fit.

Yes, we pick up suitable collections anywhere in Germany. We agree on the date and transport arrangements with you in advance.

We pay the agreed purchase price in cash when we collect your items. Bank transfer is also available on request. We agree on the payment method before the handover.

An approximate quantity is enough for the first enquiry. If you only know the number of shelves or boxes, mention that in the text field and make clear that the item count is an estimate.

Artists, genres, editions and condition are among the relevant details. The number of items alone says little about their value. Mention special pressings or editions if you know about them.

Online asking prices do not necessarily reflect actual sale prices. Edition, condition and demand can make a substantial difference. Selling items individually and selling an entire collection are also different approaches.
