What Are My Bottles Worth?
Are you curious what your bottles or relics may be worth? You can submit photos and a brief desciption using our "What's My Bottle Worth?" form at the bottom of our main home page and we will respond within 48 hours. You may also use email and send your photos to info@goldengatebottles.com. Due to the nature of collectibles, we will provide you a rough estimate based on recent transactions of similar items that sold. Unique items are always difficult to value, but we will do our best.
Should I Auction My Bottles?
When it comes to selling collectible antique bottles and relics the highest prices are often realized through competitive open marking bidding platforms. When items are exposed to the largest amount of collectors at once and bidders are forced to enter their highest bids, the seller benefits with top dollar market values. Often, in private transactions, unscrupulous collectors take advantage of uninformed family members who unfortunately have no basis for value and oftern are willing to accept almost anything for their loved ones collection. At Golden Gate Bottles our objective is to market your bottles to as many serious collectors as we can through our digital promotions as well as in person events throughout the year. We leverage our 25 years of experience as West Coast dealers, collectors, and locators in order to achieve top dollar prices for your bottles.
