Sell to Us · Sherman Oaks
Sell vintage in Sherman Oaks, where the garages remember everything.
The post-war ranch homes of Sherman Oaks were built with real garages, and the south Valley used them. Fifty years of keeping accumulates out there: a father’s work jackets, tour shirts from the Universal Amphitheatre years, crates of records, the den furniture that got swapped out in 1984 but never left the property. Entertainment families in particular held onto things, because in this business you never knew what you might need again.
We are the buyers behind Old 44 Vintage in San Juan Capistrano, and we drive up from our Laguna Hills warehouse to go through it with you. Everything gets looked at, priced out loud, and paid for in cash the same day if you like the number. Free visit, no obligation, and we do the lifting.
What we buy in the south Valley
Vintage denim and workwear
Levi’s, Lee, and Wrangler from the forties through the eighties, plus chore coats and work boots.
Concert tees and tour merch
Band shirts, crew jackets, and promo items, the older and more worn-in the better.
Mid-century and ranch-house furniture
Walnut credenzas, bar carts, and the good pieces that furnished the Valley in the fifties and sixties.
Vinyl records and stereo equipment
Collections large and small, along with receivers, turntables, and speakers from the golden era.
Western wear and leather
Boots, fringe jackets, and rodeo-era pieces the Valley wore before it was fashionable again.
The Ventura Boulevard consignment math
Sherman Oaks sellers usually know about the resale shops along Ventura Boulevard, and consignment can work if you have time. But run the math honestly: the shop takes roughly half, the piece may sit for months, and whatever does not sell comes back to your garage. Multiply that across a whole household and it becomes a part-time job. Our model is one visit and one number. We walk the house and garage together, from the flats near Chandler to the hillside streets south of the Boulevard, explain what each category brings in the markets we sell into, and pay cash before we pull out of the driveway.

Common questions
The garage is full of unsorted boxes. Should I organize first?
Please do not. Sorting is our job, and honestly, families often throw away the wrong things when they pre-clean. A garage that has not been touched in twenty years is the best version of a garage for us. We bring gloves and patience.
Why take one cash offer instead of consigning piece by piece?
Speed and certainty. Consignment can eventually beat a buyout on a single strong item, but across a whole household the splits, the waiting, and the returns usually eat the difference. We will tell you honestly if something is better consigned or auctioned.
Do you buy entertainment memorabilia?
We buy the wearable and usable side of it: crew jackets, wardrobe-quality vintage clothing, promo shirts, posters, and props with a clear story. We price them as dealers based on what collectors actually pay, and we are upfront when something is outside our lane.
One call. We’ll take it
from there.
