The selling process for Johnston sellers

  1. Describe the inventory

    A short list or a photograph of the rack is enough to start. Tell us the wire types, rough quantities and where it is stored.

  2. Photographs do the pricing

    Four images per item โ€” tag, jacket print, cut end, overview โ€” usually replace a site visit entirely.

  3. Review the evaluation

    We return a line-item number with the items we are buying and the items we are passing on, and you decide what to sell.

  4. Collection and payment

    Freight is arranged regionally, and we will tell you when shipping a small lot is more practical than a dedicated truck. We pay on collection, by the method agreed before the truck is booked.
