CASH IN THE ATTIC

HOW TO GET ITEMS VALUED

Check on ebay for any similar items to see how much they have sold for. Remember to sort the items by clicking the “sold for” box on the bottom left of the page. It’s easy for someone to list an item for thousands of pounds but the completed listings will give you a more realistic idea of the price.

Go to an auction house that is selling memorabilia to get a feel for market value.

Get a valuation from a specialist – some are free while others charge. British auction house Bonhams offers free valuations by email, post and in person. See bonhams.com/how_to_sell
