Frequently Asked Questions: Selling

Q: How long does it take for sellers to get paid?
A: Sellers are paid when the sales are complete. The time frame will be different for brokering versus consignment. The estimate for brokering is 2 - 6 weeks. Other information important to know about selling can be found from the Sellers' Services page of our site.

Q: Are there any fees involved to the seller?
A: Listing, selling, and advertising your crystal on our web site are all FREE. Other information important to know about selling can be found from the Sellers' Service page of our site.

Q: Does Crystal Exchange America purchase crystal or collections?
A: No, we do not purchase crystal or collections outright. We don't have extra storage or insurance to carry an inventory of crystal. It is worthwhile to note that when dealers or collectors purchase a collection, they do expect to get a bargain and that the owner will probably only get 20%-30% of its current worth. That is because the buyer is most likely going to part it out and sell it to make a profit. So, it may be in your best interest to check out the Sellers' Service information on our site. This service is FREE to sellers.
