Yes! I am interested in being offered items that you have for sale!
I buy only vintage Blenko glass made between 1947-74 and circa 1950's Empoli glass; if you are not certain that is what you have, that's OK, read on.
I buy only 10% of items offered to me but when I pass on an item I give you the name of the company, designer, years produced, etc, as well as a range of realistic values. If I am interested in buying your item my reply will be limited to an offer.
If you are only interested in identification, read our full identification policy on the 'About glasshouse' page - in short, I only provide identification services to customers and individuals who are offering me items for sale.
Selling Guidelines:
- I am the biggest buyer of vintage Blenko and Empoli glass in the USA and I pay top dollar in order to maintain the largest and best inventory.
- I pay quickly either online through paypal or by business check.
- I pay more for new-to-market items than I will for items at auction.
- I will not bid on items at auction after they have been offered to me.
- if the item has already been offered at auction I will not be interested.
- I am only interested in exclusive offers; if you offer an item to me you are agreeing not offer it to others until our negotiations are concluded.
- Please be prepared to come to an agreement quickly.
- You will need to email me one photo of your item, and please, not a big one.
- Be sure to tell me clearly that your item is for sale. If you are a dealer or picker kindly introduce yourself as such.
- My successful business of over a decade proves my excellent reputation as a buyer. If you are not prepared to trust that I will make you a good offer, then do not offer me items to begin with.
- I prefer shipping by UPS Ground service, and always fully insured.
- regular sellers: as I only buy 10% of items offered what I am providing you with is a free identification service, in exchange I expect to be given first refusal when I do make an offer.
-Note that you may not cite me as a source of information or authentication on items I pass on without my explicit prior aproval; please ask. Email me at info@vmglasshouse.com |
