What Are My Bottles Worth?
Are you curious what your bottles or relics may be worth?
Submit photos and a brief description using our "What's My Bottle Worth?" form at the bottom of our home page, and we will respond within 48 hours. You may also email your photos directly to info@goldengatebottles.com.
Due to the unique nature of collectible bottles and relics, we can provide only a rough estimate based on recent sales of comparable items. Truly unique pieces are often difficult to value, but we will do our best to provide an accurate assessment.
Should I Auction My Bottles?
When it comes to selling collectible antique bottles and relics, the highest prices are often realized through competitive, open-market bidding. When items are exposed to the largest possible audience of collectors and bidders are encouraged to submit their highest bids, sellers often achieve the strongest market prices.
In private transactions, however, family members who are less knowledgeable about antique bottles may have little basis for determining value and can unknowingly accept far less than a collection is worth. At Golden Gate Bottle Auctions, our objective is to market your bottles to as many serious collectors as possible through our digital promotions and extensive network of collectors.
We leverage more than 25 years of experience as West Coast dealers, collectors, and bottle locators to help achieve the strongest possible results for your collection.
