Sell to Us · Pasadena
Sell vintage in Pasadena without renting a flea market booth.
Everyone in Pasadena knows the Rose Bowl Flea. Fewer people want to spend a 4 a.m. Sunday selling at it. We are the other path: dealers who come to your home on a weekday, look carefully at what generations of good taste accumulated, and pay cash before we leave.
Pasadena rewards a knowledgeable buyer. This is a city of Greene and Greene shadows, Bungalow Heaven attics, Caltech bookshelves, and estates that collected art and silver when Colorado Boulevard still had department stores. We have the eye for what makes this city different.
What Pasadena homes are known for
Arts and crafts furnishings
Mission oak, art pottery, hammered copper, and lighting from the bungalow decades.
California art
Plein air paintings, etchings, and prints, signed or attributed, in original frames.
Books and libraries
Fine bindings, first editions, technical libraries, and the bookplates of old Pasadena.
Silver and china
Sterling services, fine china, and the formal dining rooms of an entertaining city.
Estate contents
Complete households from Bungalow Heaven to Hastings Ranch, handled with discretion.
The flea market comes to you, in reverse
Here is the honest math: a booth at the flea costs money, a consignment shop takes up to half, and online selling trades your weekends for shipping problems. We pay a fair wholesale price with none of those costs, and for better pieces our price often beats what a long retail wait would net. From Madison Heights to Altadena and Sierra Madre next door, we make Pasadena calls weekly.

Common questions
How do you price against what I see at the Rose Bowl?
Flea prices are asking prices, not selling prices, and they include the seller’s whole weekend. We pay against what pieces actually trade for, and we explain the difference plainly while we evaluate.
We have a library of old books. Worth a look?
Often, yes. Pasadena libraries are among the best we see: science, exploration, California history, fine printing. We evaluate books by the shelf, not just the spine titles.
Can you be discreet? The neighbors notice everything here.
Completely. Unmarked vehicle, weekday appointments, no signage, and nothing posted publicly. Discretion is a standard part of the service, not an upgrade.
One call. We’ll take it
from there.
