  • Tamara Neely

    Colorado Springs, Colorado 

    Jon and the team were exceptionally good to work with to sell some of the treasures from mom's basement. I was very pleased with his open and honest evaluation of our items and the swift, friendly exchange. They were very patient about explaining every step along the way from how they evaluate the items, to how to pack them - it could not have been easier. Would certainly recommend them!

    2nd Markets was very helpful, friendly and courteous. We look forward to doing more business with them in future

    Darbi Steckman

    Loved doing business with Jon and his company. They were knowledgeable, fair, and provided plenty of information. They are extremely responsive and quick with payments.

    Patrick Kline

    York, Pennsylvania 

    The process is very simple and straightforward. I sent out my item and (within 24 hours) received an online check which I printed from my computer and cashed at my bank...no problem. It's a fun way to turn those unwanted, yet valuable items into cash.

    Mike Connolly

    Burlington, Massachusetts 

    I've had a very easy and comfortable process in selling my Franklin Mint collectibles. 2nd Markets has been very helpful and extremely timely in all responses, but more importantly, in payment processing.

    Palma O’Keefe

    Holden, Massachusetts 

    It was a pleasure to do business with you! Your responses to my inquiry and questions were prompt, professional and on point. After my package was received, my Paypal account was paid within 24 hours. I would do business with you again and will recommend you to my friend.

    April Fiur

    Lampasas, Texas 

    I had a very positive experience with Jon Warren of 2nd Markets. The transaction was very easy from beginning to end. Once my package arrived which was acknowledged via email, payment to me was fast. I would not hesitate to do business with 2nd Markets again.

Why Not Sell on eBay Yourself

Many folks sell to us after giving eBay a try. Selling on eBay is no picnic. And it is not free: eBay takes a large commission and forces you to accept Paypal, which also takes a fee for handling your money.

Then there are all the trips to the post office, living up to eBay's seller standards, and having to refund buyer's money when they decide to return something they bought (eBay forces you to accept returns for any reason.) It is a full-time job. Sell to us and get almost as much as selling direct to collectors, but without the hassle.

Oh yes, and then there is the IRS. Ebay reports your sales to the IRS on form 1099. We do not file a form 1099 on you. We pay our taxes, but we do not report each individual collection we purchase. It is not required.

When you sell to us, you have one simple, fast, clean transaction, without starting a new business!
