Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about the valuation process
Ian will never “cherry pick” from collections to simply remove the best items. This is poor service and simply renders your remaining collection worthless. Instead, he will make his “offer to buy” everything. You can then choose a charity for the remaining material to benefit from following the process. You can decide which charity can benefit from the following organisations:
Working Paws Australia
Military working dog handlers supporting retired military and police working dogs.
Kaarikan Wildlife Black Cockatoo Conservation Centre
Providing a dedicated centre for the treatment, rehabilitation and release of injured birds
Cancer Council WA
Working towards a cancer free future by funding world-class cancer research and providing services for cancer patients and their carers.
