Selling "Live" packets and tins

Since eBay, Etsy, Facebook and others banned the sale of any product containing tobacco on their platforms, it has become increasingly difficult for collectors of "Live" vintage tobacco products to find or to sell such products online.

As a long time collector of "Live" packets I am saddened to see my hobby spoiled in this way, so I have decided to offer a solution for those wishing to buy & sell "Live" vintage cigarette, cigar or tobacco products here on this website

Option One.

I will always consider buying from you myself either to add to my collection or to re-sell in order to support this web site

Option Two.

Let me sell your products for you in my online shop or auction

Under this arrangement you send your products to me, and I will list, categorise, and value each packet/tin and will decide if best sold by auction or via the shop at a fixed price. I will send the list to you and you will have the opportunity to adjust the proposed prices up or down before the items go on sale. 

Once the price is approved, I will photograph every packet/tin and write a product description for entry in either the shop or auction. Any packets being auctioned that do not sell after 30 days, will automatically be transferred to the shop at a fixed price for a further 60 days, before being reviewed. I will deal with marketing, promotion, order processing, postage and packing, insurance and any matters arising.

You can monitor progress on my web site and at the end of each month, you will receive a report showing the items sold and the prices achieved. The commission payable is 30% of the sale value, which is deducted from amount due to you for that month. Payment will be by Bank transfer within 7 days of the month end. There are no listing fees or VAT payable.

The agreement is for a minimum period of 3 months at the end of which,

1) The remaining items can be left on sale and the agreement extended.

2) You can ask for unsold items to be returned to you.

3) I may purchase the remaining items from you at an agreed price.

If this arrangement appeals to you, please get in touch.

My website enjoys over 8,000 visitors per month, most of whom have an interest in collecting. In addition, items added to my shop are automatically featured in my Blog and are also sent to my mailing list of regular customers, so your packets/tins will be seen by literally thousands of potential buyers.
