Marketing your collection

Warwick & Warwick advertise extensively in specialised publications and websites dealing with stamps, coins, banknotes, cigarette cards, postcards, medals, die-cast models and model railways. Our website listing is normally found on the first page of Google searches and we receive hundreds of unique visitors every day. We also have excellent links with local, regional and national press to ensure that items of special interest attract maximum publicity. Our extensive register of collectors' specialist interests is also invaluable in bringing your items to the attention of the largest possible audience of interested buyers.

The best possible return

Our experts will assess the best method of selling your collection. Some collections are best sold as one lot to preserve their unique appeal. More often a better price will be obtained by offering your property in a number of lots. We have the expertise to make these decisions and it is at your service. Whether you are a collector of modest means or have a collection of award-winning calibre you may depend upon the same meticulous care and attention from our staff.

Catalogues are also available for viewing online and scans of the most important sections of lots are available. Sales may be viewed at our offices in Warwick during the week preceding the sale.

Trustee Department

The question of securing the future of a valuable collection is one that has worried collectors for many years. To solve this problem, Warwick & Warwick have set up a unique Trustee Department as a service to collectors. The aim is to provide collectors, and others, with a confidential service that guarantees the future of their collections. The services of the Trustee Department are available not only to collectors but also to solicitors, executors and other professional advisers who may be involved in the disposal of an estate. Complete confidentiality is, of course, observed. For more information on securing the future of your collection visit our Trustee Department page.
