4 Antique Buyers in the Area In most Australian homes, there's a drawer. You know the one. It holds the tangle of old jewellery nobody wears anymore — the broken chain from an aunt's estate, the ring that no longer fits, the earring whose partner disappeared a decade ago. It holds the coins collected on overseas trips, the broken old watch, the bracelet bought in a different chapter of life. Most of us assume these things have sentimental value, or no value at all. What we rarely consider is that they might have real, financial value — sitting quietly while the gold price holds near historic highs. That's where father-son buying duo Mike and Nate come in. Mike and Nate are enthusiastic antique buyers with a particular eye for gold jewellery — broken or intact — gold and silver coins, mechanical watches, military medals, banknotes, and all other kinds of coins. "Everyone has something we want to buy," says Mike, "and nothing is too small for our consideration. We are just as happy to buy one item as we are buying ten thousand." With gold still trading well above traditional levels, now is an opportune time to dig out those old chains, rings, and brooches and find out what they're actually worth. "This is an ideal time to sell," Mike emphasises. "We will buy anything made of gold — old jewellery, coins, virtually anything, even gold teeth. We also need silver in any form, including coins and bars of any size." Don't overlook the coins. That old tin of foreign currency at the back of the cupboard could contain a rarity worth far more than face value. "We want to see any old foreign coin accumulations — bags, tins, folders, however they come," says Mike. "We'll go through them on the spot and give you a fair idea of what we can pay. You just never know what can turn up." Mechanical watches are also in urgent demand. Brands such as Rolex, Omega, Patek Philippe, Longines, and even some Gents Seiko’s can command strong prices depending on model and condition — and many people have no idea what a vintage watch sitting in a drawer is currently worth to a serious collector. In today's era of downsizing and decluttering, there has rarely been a better moment to open those drawers, go through those cupboards, and turn forgotten items into real money. Mike and Nate will be in the Gold Coast area this coming month, doing home visits. Call today to book yours. For more details see back cover.
