The selling process for Johnston sellers
Describe the inventory

Photographs do the pricing
Four images per item โ tag, jacket print, cut end, overview โ usually replace a site visit entirely.
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.
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.
