What we do:

  • For large collections or entire houses of items, we come to you!

  • With over a decade of experience, we understand that Estate Liquidation can be stressful. Our goal is to reduce the stress and find the best homes for your items.

  • We buy directly from the public- from one item to 1000.

  • Sell, keep, toss, or donate? We’ll guide you through the process.

FAQs

How do I get started selling my items?

The first step is to call our buyer directly at 941-376-9444. During this first phone call we will ask you some basic questions about what you are looking to sell, and determine if a housecall is appropriate. House calls are always complimentary!

Why should I sell to Past Times?

With over a decade of experience, we are proud to have repeat customers coming back to us year after year to sell because of our knowledge and fair prices.

How will Times Past pay me?

We pay in cash or check depending on what works best for you.

What if I’m overwhelmed with too much stuff and I don’t know what is valuable?

This is the most common circumstance we help with, don’t worry! Have you inherited a house full of items to sort through, or do you just need to downsize before a move? This is the exactly why we do free house calls.

Whats the biggest mistake people make?

We have heard it countless times before: “We didn’t think that was valuable so we got rid of it.” Don’t donate or throw anything away before calling us! Those old jeans with the holes and stains could be original Levis from the 1920s. The vase Grandma brought back from her travels that has been gathering dust? It’s worth checking with a professional.

What’s important to us:

Antiques have stories & history that we strive to see continue long after we are gone.

We are just caretakers of objects until they find the perfect home.

Family heirlooms should be treasured not melted.

We are a family owned business that has been finding joy serving the Sarasota community for over a decade.

With a deep love for antiques & vintage that was born more that 25 years ago we have filled our lives with the joys and thrill of hunting for unique objects to bring to the world of like minded collectors.
