We Buy · Southern California
Yes, we buy that.
If you found this page searching some version of who buys antiques, or we buy vintage, or estate buyers near me, the answer is us. California Vintage Buyers purchases antiques, vintage clothing and denim, jewelry, watches, collectibles, and complete estate contents across all of Southern California.
The process is one phone call. We come to you, look at everything at your pace, explain what we are seeing, and pay cash before we leave. We are the team behind Old 44 Vintage in San Juan Capistrano, buying professionally every day of the week.
What we buy
Vintage Levi's and denim
Our deepest specialty. Big E tabs, selvedge, buckle-backs, workwear. We paid $12,000 in cash for one 1940s Type 1 jacket.
Jewelry, gold, and watches
Estate jewelry, gold in any condition, signed pieces, old diamonds, turquoise, and vintage watches, evaluated in front of you.
Antiques and collectibles
Furniture with real craftsmanship, advertising signs, art, silver, coins, guitars, military items, and the odd things nobody can categorize.
Full estates
The whole house, bought outright in one visit, or a complete estate sale run on your behalf. One call handles either.
House calls from Santa Barbara to San Diego
We are based in Laguna Hills and drive to sellers anywhere in Southern California: Orange County, Los Angeles, San Diego, the Inland Empire, Ventura, Santa Barbara, and the desert communities. The visit and evaluation are always free, with no obligation to sell.

Common questions
Do you really come to me?
Yes. One phone call to (949) 449-1255 and we set a time. We look at everything in person, which is the only honest way to price the things we buy.
What if I only have one item?
One good item justifies a visit. A single ring, one denim jacket, one guitar. And if it is easier, text us photos first and we will tell you the same day whether a visit makes sense.
How do I know your offer is fair?
Because we explain it. Every offer comes with the reasoning: what the piece is, what market it sells into, and why the number is the number. Compare us against anyone; sellers who know the market choose us anyway.
One call. We’ll take it
from there.
