Business Writeup: Heritage International

With the current trend of downsizing and decluttering, there is a fantastic opportunity to turn unwanted items into cash. 

Heritage International, led by father and son duo, Mike and Nate Cornish, is on the lookout for a range of treasured items, from heirloom jewellery to vintage watches and collectibles.

“We are enthusiastic buyers, particularly interested in gold jewellery, whether broken or intact, antique jewellery, gold and silver coins, collectibles including military medals, and banknotes, as well as mechanical watches,” said Nate.

“Everyone has something we want to buy, and nothing is too small for our consideration. We are just as happy to buy one item, as we are buying 10,000,” said Mike who is the chief buyer.

If you are in doubt about any items you wish to sell, Mike and Nate can give an instant appraisal. 

With the gold price still at higher than traditional levels, right now is an opportune time to explore your jewellery box and dig out those old gold chains, rings and brooches, to turn them into cash. 

“This is an ideal time to sell,” Mike explained. “We will buy anything made of gold – old jewellery, coins, virtually anything, even gold teeth. We also need silver in any form, including bars of any size.”

Check those drawers and cupboards, you may have a rarity lurking amongst your coins. 

“We want to see any coin collections or accumulations, even old foreign coins. We will be quite happy to go through your coins on the spot and give you an idea of what we can pay. You just never know what can turn up,”  Nate said.

From Rolex to Seiko

Our buyers are also urgently seeking mechanical watches.

“Collectors currently favour brands like Rolex, Omega, Patek Philippe, Longines, and Seiko. 

“These brands can command excellent prices depending on their model and condition. Nevertheless, we’re willing to purchase any mechanical watch, even if it’s only worth a few dollars for spare parts,” Mike said.  

“While we maintain a safe environment at our venues, we also offer home visits for those unable to visit us, or those with too much to carry,” Mike said.
