I saw an add in the NY Post about 2 weeks ago. Claimed to offer better prices than "dealers". I had quite a bit of low grade pre war stuff and I was looking for cash to up grade current collection. I called them up and they seemed very friendly. Agreed to meet in NYC hotel on Derby Saturday.
First impression - two very friendly brothers. Safe location.
Naturally I did not get what I was hoping but they were reasonable enough and gave me 20 Mr. Franklins - I was hoping for 25. No ebay, no pay pal no waiting no running my own auction.
And they were swamped - phone was ringing off the hook and they had appointments every hour all weekend. They did tell me they see a lot of junk but they also uncovered some great vintage collections. And they are for real - if you have the stuff they had the cash. They had several $20-$30k deals working.
