Yes. Your free postage pack includes clear instructions on how to securely package your items before sending them to us. Once received, your items are logged by our specialist team and handled with the same care and security as the thousands of lots entrusted to Potteries Auctions each year.

Many gold buyers simply pay based on the metal value. At Potteries Auctions, we assess whether your jewellery, coins or collectables could achieve a higher price through auction, potentially increasing the amount you receive.

Once your items arrive, we aim to complete valuations as quickly as possible. Timescales can vary depending on the quantity and type of items submitted, but our team will keep you informed throughout the process.

In many cases, yes. Depending on the items submitted, we may be able to provide an immediate purchase offer or recommend an auction sale if we believe it will achieve a better result.

If you decide not to proceed, we can arrange for your items to be returned to you.

For immediate purchase offers, payment is typically made by bank transfer once the offer has been accepted. For auction sales, you may be eligible for an advance payment of up to 75% of the low estimate value, with the remaining balance paid following completion of the auction and settlement process.
