Sell Your Antiques, Diamonds, and Collectibles Today

Wondering who will give you a fair price for old jewelry, a diamond ring or a shelf of collectibles?


Antiques Estate Buyers USA buys a broad range of personal property, from one engagement ring to the contents of an entire house, and we explain every offer before you decide. We have been doing it for more than 30 years.


Most sellers come to us in one of three ways. Some have a single item, such as a ring, a watch or a painting, and want to know what it is worth.


Some have a collection built over years, like coins, trains or silver. And some have an entire home to clear. Each path starts the same way, with a free, honest look, and each ends with a choice that is entirely yours.

How to Sell Your Items?

Four steps, and you can stop at any point:

  • Schedule Your Free Appraisal

    • • Book a home visit, or meet us by appointment at our Islip office.

    • Starting online? Email or text photos and a few details for an early estimate.

  • Receive a Professional Evaluation

    • We review quality, scarcity and current buyer demand for each piece.

  • Get a Same-Day Cash Offer

    • After the evaluation, we put a clear offer in front of you. There is no obligation.

  • Immediate Payment

    If you accept, we pay and arrange pickup.

    Every step is explained before it happens. If at any point you would rather keep an item, take time to think, or get another opinion, that is completely fine. Our job is to give you clear information and a fair offer, not to pressure you into a sale.

Sell Your Items

Selling Directly vs. Other Options     

Option Selling to us Auction Online marketplace
Time Often one appointment for a few pieces Often weeks or months Hard to predict
Payment Explained before you decide After the sale, if it sells After the sale, if it sells
Fees None to you Seller's commission (varies) Platform fees (vary)
Your effort Very little Prep and transport Photos, listings, shipping, messages

Every route has its place. If you want speed and simplicity, a direct sale is hard to beat. If you have a standout piece and time to wait, an auction may bring more.


If you are comfortable doing the work yourself, an online marketplace can work for some items, though it means photos, listings, messages, shipping and the risk of scams. We are glad to talk through which route fits each item.

FAQs

  • Where can I sell antique furniture near me?

    Book a home visit anywhere in our service area, or meet us in Islip by appointment. We see everything from Victorian parlor sets to mid-century pieces. Large furniture is best seen where it sits, and if we buy it, our crew handles the moving. Send a few photos first, including the back, the underside and any labels, and we can tell you whether a visit is worthwhile.

  • What types of diamonds do you buy?

    Loose stones, engagement rings, diamond necklaces and earrings, and older estate pieces. Graded or ungraded, natural stones of any shape, including older cuts found in antique rings. Chipped stones still have value. Learn more about selling diamonds.

  • How quickly can I sell my items?

    For a few pieces of jewelry or coins, the evaluation and offer can usually happen in one appointment. Whole collections and full homes take longer to review, and we will give you a realistic timeline at the start.

Before You Sell Antiques or Jewelry


  • Do not clean or polish. Tarnish, patina and dust do not bother us, but cleaning coins, buffing silver or refinishing wood can lower value.

  • Keep pieces together. Pairs of earrings, sets of chairs, full flatware services and complete coin albums are worth more as groups.

  • Gather paperwork. Lab reports, receipts, original boxes, warranty cards and old appraisals help support value.

  • Write down what you know. Where a piece came from, who owned it and roughly when it was bought can all be useful.

  • Get a clear explanation. Whoever you sell to, ask how the offer was calculated. A fair buyer will be glad to show you.

  • Do not rush. Unless you are working against a deadline, take a day to think about any offer, including ours.
