03 · Who We Are
My grandfather struggled to let things go. He worked his whole career to afford a Jaguar, which he loved working on himself. He kept every broken nut, bolt and washer from every repair. He kept every newspaper delivered to his home for forty years, convinced he might need to look back on one someday.
The truth is, the generations that came before us were scrappy, resourceful, and cared about memorable things. As a founding team, we inherited some of that. We share a passion for vintage clothes, wartime memorabilia, antiques - anything with a cool story.
If you’re looking for a team that doesn’t just want to buy your dad’s old Rolex, but one that can spot the value in the little things that were kept for a reason - we’d love to meet you.
Behind California Vintage Buyers is the team from Old 44 Vintage , a real brick-and-mortar shop at River Street Marketplace in San Juan Capistrano. Between the three of us, roughly twenty-five years of buying, selling, and living with vintage. You can walk into the shop any week of the year, or visit our Laguna Hills warehouse by appointment. We are not a website with a phone number; we are a shop you can stand in.
04 · A Recent Find
A 1940s Levi’s Type 1 jacket, sold to us by a former dealer who knew exactly what he had. We paid $12,000 in cash, the same day.
Sellers who know the market choose us, and sellers with no idea what they are holding get the same straight evaluation. Either way, it starts with one phone call and ends with cash in hand.
What Sellers Say
5.0 on Google.
“Had a bunch of old Carhartt workwear and Levi's jeans I was going to give away or donate. These guys filled my pockets with fresh greenbacks. Thanks for the love gentlemen!”
“I brought in a stamp collection that had been passed down through my family. The team was friendly, knowledgeable, and never made me feel rushed. They answered all my questions and made what could have been an overwhelming experience surprisingly simple. Would definitely recommend!”
“Thanks for cruising up to Santa Barbara to help out my dad. Hope it was a win-win!”
05 · Common Questions
Asked, answered.
What do you buy?
Vintage clothing, especially pre-1970s denim and workwear, plus antiques, mid-century furniture, Pokemon and trading cards, collectibles, military memorabilia, jewelry, watches, advertising signage, and full estate contents. If it took a lifetime to collect, we want to see it.
Do you come to me?
Yes. One phone call and we drive out to your home anywhere in Southern California, Orange County, Los Angeles, San Diego, the Inland Empire, Ventura, and Santa Barbara. We walk the home at your pace and look at everything.
Do you charge for a visit or appraisal?
No. The visit and the offer are free, and there is no obligation to sell.
How fast do you pay?
On the spot. If we agree on a price, you’re paid cash the same visit, no waiting on consignment, auctions, or online buyers.
Can you run a full estate sale?
Yes. If a sale makes more sense than a buyout, we organize and run the entire estate sale on your behalf, pricing, staffing, and clearing the home. One call handles everything.
One call. We’ll take it
from there.
