Sell to Us · San Juan Capistrano
Sell vintage in San Juan Capistrano, you already know our shop.
If you have walked River Street Marketplace, you have probably been inside Old 44 Vintage, the neon horse, the racks of denim, the walls of Americana. California Vintage Buyers is the buying side of that same team. The pieces we purchase from local families are exactly what fills a shop like that.
Free visit · cash offers · no obligation
Selling to us works two ways in San Juan: we make house calls anywhere in town and the surrounding canyon and coast, or, for smaller lots, you can simply bring things by the shop and talk to us in person. Either way, you are dealing with the owners, not a call center.
What we buy from San Juan families
Western & equestrian
Rodeo wear, boots, buckles, tack-room finds, and ranch wear, fitting, for this town.
Vintage denim & workwear
The heart of our shop: Levi’s, Lee, Wrangler, and honest work clothes.
Mission-era & Californiana
Early California art, mission-related pieces, citrus-era and rancho items.
Americana
Signs, advertising, license plates, pennants, and the contents of long-kept garages.
Estates
Full household contents, from the historic district to the newer hills.
A shop you can walk into
Most buyers in this trade are a phone number and a P.O. box. We are a storefront you can visit, 31896 Paseo Adelanto at River Street Marketplace, in the middle of the town we buy in. From the Los Rios district to San Juan Hills, Capistrano Beach, and out toward Ortega, sellers can meet us at home or at the shop, whichever is more comfortable. The relationship does not end at the sale, either; our sellers become our customers, and the things they sell us stay part of the town’s story.
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.

Common questions
Can I just bring items into Old 44?
For a box or a few pieces, yes, call ahead so a buyer is on the floor when you come in. For larger lots and estates, a house call is easier on everyone, and we will come to you.
Are you the same people as the shop?
Yes. California Vintage Buyers was founded by the Old 44 Vintage team, Sam, Jake, and Jordan. The shop is the proof of how we value what we buy.
Do you buy equestrian and ranch items?
Enthusiastically, this is one of the few towns where the tack room is as interesting as the closet. Saddles, show clothing, silver bits and spurs, and ranch signage are all welcome.
