Make extra money. Trade in your old (not gold) for cash!

We all know that times are tough and we’ve seen the commercials about trading in your gold, jewels and other pirate’s booty for cold hard cash, but we at Antiquities International have another idea. Why not sell your off your “oh, these will be worth money someday,” items.

Antiques, collectables, vintage memorabilia and autographs can bring in a lot of dough and Antiquities is the bakery. This not-so-subtle store is more like a museum of music, movies, historical and political and classic Americana memorabilia. Toby Stoffa ‘s Antiquities houses one of the largest collections of refurbished pinball, arcade, candy and cigarette machines, plus numerous restored cash registers, scales, Victrolas and other antiques. This mega-gallery also has movie props and vintage and collectors’ items including Star Wars figurines and Ron Lee Disney™ figurines. 

Not only does Stoffa’s empire consist of some of the most rare and special autographs, but because she has been in the business for over 27 years, she has built incredible relationships in the antiques and memorabilia community. Therefore, she can tell you just by seeing emailed pictures of your Aunt Gertrude’s antique scale or your impressive collection of baseball cards how much they’re worth. And the best part is that Antiquities buys directly from collectors like you or will even sell your stuff for you on consignment.

Don’t have a stash in the attic? Now’s a great time to become a novice collector by perusing eBay and scouring yard sales for fantastic finds. You know what they say, one man’s trash is another man’s pay dirt!

Check out Antiquities’ website and write us if you have anything you think we might be interested in, and who knows, maybe you’ll see something you just have to have.
