Decision support, not an appraisal.
Selling is one of six options. You can also keep, protect, insure, hand down to family or donate. This list is for when selling is the choice, and fit comes before any referral pay. We do not buy collections or make offers. No company on this page paid to be listed, and no referral pay is active. If a paid referral is ever added, it will be disclosed before any information is shared. Listing is not a recommendation. Confirm every fee in writing with the company before you ship anything.

Method: we opened each company's own selling, fee, terms or FAQ page on October 15, 2026 and recorded a figure only when the page stated it. The exact text behind each figure is kept in the dataset (field quote). "Not applicable" covers grading services (which do not sell for you) and fixed-price buyers (which do not charge a buyer's premium).

Before you ship anything
Ask each channel for the seller fee, any buyer's premium, minimums, insurance, return costs if an item does not sell, and the payout date, in writing. Where a cell says "Not published", that question is still open.
