THE SELLING BUTLER
Collector value lives in the details.
A small variation, original box, missing accessory or production date can make a large difference to a collectable’s value. Generic listings often miss the search terms and photographs serious buyers use to choose between examples.
The Selling Butler helps Glasgow owners sell collectable toys, games and hobby items without researching and listing each piece themselves. We identify versions where possible, record completeness and condition honestly, then list on the marketplace with the strongest relevant buyer audience.
The best candidates are retired, boxed, complete, scarce or in strong collector condition. Common loose toys, incomplete low-value games and heavily damaged items are usually unsuitable for a managed commission sale.
SUITABLE ITEMS
Collectables worth sending for review
Retro & boxed games
Older consoles, boxed games, special editions and gaming hardware with collector demand.
Models & selected cards
Die-cast models, specialist toys and selected authenticated or clearly identified card collections.
As a guide, each accepted item should have an expected resale value of at least £40 and be genuine, clean, safe and saleable.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS
Less hassle. More space. Money back.
Feedback from customers who handed the selling process over to Gavin.
“So much easier than selling it all myself”
“I had a pile of decent clothes and a few other bits that I’d been meaning to sell for months. Gavin took everything away, sorted the listings and dealt with all the messages. I basically didn’t have to do anything. Would definitely use him again.”
“Saved me a lot of time”
“I’d sold on eBay before and just couldn’t be bothered with the photos, questions and posting everything again. Gavin explained how it worked, took the items and kept me updated as things sold. Really easy from start to finish.”
“Ideal if you’ve got good stuff sitting around”
“We had a mix of jackets, trainers, electronics and some old collectables that were just taking up space. Gavin went through everything with us and was upfront about what was worth selling and what wasn’t. A few weeks later most of it was gone and we’d made a decent amount back.”

Questions about this service.
Do collectables need their original boxes?
Not always, but original packaging and completeness often improve demand and value. Unboxed items may still be suitable when they are scarce, identifiable and in strong condition.
Can you value a large mixed collection?
Start with overview photographs and any known brands, dates or ranges. We can then identify which parts merit individual research and whether a collection appointment is worthwhile.
Do you sell trading cards?
Selected cards or collections may be suitable where they can be clearly identified, assessed and expected to meet the minimum resale value. We do not assume authenticity or grade from a photograph alone.
