Sarah Blythe

 

"I have no hesitation in recommending Antiques of Sussex. Wayne offers a premier service. He is friendly, respectful, trustworthy and offers a professional and pain free experience. Wayne conveniently and expediently visited me and paid me a fair price for the gold and silver items on the spot. I was also impressed that he took videos of two highly unusual items and admitted he wanted to consult expert advice before making me an offer on their potential value."

Rob Wilson

 

"Selling some miscellaneous pieces of silver and jewellery through Antiques of Sussex has been a very easy experience. Wayne clearly has extensive knowledge and is an individual with very high professional standards. My wife and I were impressed because of the excellent valuation, but foremost the care and attention he paid to us throughout the whole process; it was second to none. At the end of the day, Wayne gave a very accurate price for the various pieces than we had anticipated. We wish him well for the future."

Angie Crudington

 

"I had some gold and silver items that I’d had put away for the last 20–30 years so arranged for Wayne to come and value them for me. We arranged to meet at my house which was so convenient. Wayne was so lovely and told me all about himself, his company and his family so I felt comfortable with who I was meeting.

He then looked at all the items I had, taking the time to look at each item individually whilst explaining the value and whether it was worth letting go of the item, or keeping it if it had more sentimental value than what it was worth.

Wayne offered me a very good price for a number of items and paid me instantly by bank transfer. I checked the money was in my account before he left.

I would highly recommend Wayne to anyone looking to sell any items. I wish I had found him years ago! Thank you Wayne!"

June Waite

 

"What a pleasure it was to meet Wayne on a Sunday afternoon at our home. My husband and I had a large selection of antique items, including watches, rings and chains.

Wayne sat down with us and time seemed no object as he carefully examined and assessed each item in turn, passing on his valuable knowledge.

The value of the items met all of our expectations. We are more than happy to recommend him to all our friends and family, and to anyone else that needs confirmation of a trustworthy antiques dealer."

— June & Barry Waite

 

Scott Macmillan

 

"Our family has dealt with Wayne from Antiques of Sussex for years, ever since my mum first bought a piece from him.

From the start, Wayne has always been professional, friendly and completely transparent. Every purchase we’ve made has been smooth and stress-free, with Wayne taking the time to answer questions and ensure we felt confident.

The pieces we bought were beautiful and of outstanding quality. We’ve also recommended Wayne to friends over the years, and they’ve all been delighted with the service.

It’s rare to find someone in this industry who is both trustworthy and genuinely cares about his clients. Antiques of Sussex truly deserves five stars."

Ian Dobson

 

"I honestly can't rate this business high enough. I had read the reviews already posted online and thought, 'Can a business really score so many 5-star reviews?'

Wayne is personable, polite and very trustworthy. My valuation, and subsequent payment, was undoubtedly the smallest value transaction he would do that day, but he was still willing to give me the time to chat.

If I did have more items to get valued and sell, then I would go straight to Wayne and Antiques of Sussex. Many thanks Wayne!"

— Ian Dobson

 

Steve Gibson

 

"I had an excellent experience with Wayne. He came to my home at a time that suited me, which made the whole process very convenient.

From the moment he arrived, it was clear he really knows his subject. He quickly identified and valued a Chinese charger plate I was selling, and we agreed on a fair price, which he paid on the spot.

The transaction was straightforward and hassle-free. I also showed him a few other items that we couldn’t reach a deal on at the time, but he went the extra mile by contacting his network to see if a better price could be achieved.

I’ve really appreciated his proactive approach and the fact that he keeps in regular communication to update me on progress. He’s professional, knowledgeable and easy to deal with.

I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to sell or buy antiques."

— Steve Gibson

 

David Blackman

 

"Great dealing with this company. Wayne called at our home, went over our old coins, stamps and gold.

He gave us a price on the spot and we agreed, and we were paid straight away.

I can’t recommend this company enough. Highly recommend."

— David Blackman

 

Ian Hemmings

 

"I would certainly recommend Wayne. He is very knowledgeable and straightforward to work with.

After researching the market, Wayne bought a 1960s Scandinavian dining table, chairs and sideboard from me for a fair price. This avoided the hassle and uncertainty of trying to sell by auction.

He also found a home for a collection of book club books which had no monetary value and would otherwise have gone to the rubbish tip.

Thank you Wayne."

— Ian Hemmings

 

Hugh Lowry

 

"I had a few pieces of gold and silver to sell and Wayne called at my home to value them.

We had a good chat and I was more than happy with his offer. I got cash for the small amount of gold and a transfer for the larger amount of silver.

He made sure the transfer had reached my account before leaving.

It was a pleasure doing business with Wayne who was very friendly and professional. I fully recommend anyone to use his company."

— Hugh Lowry

 

Brigitte Holm

 

"I received instant payment on my gold items and was more than happy with the price.

Wayne made the highest offer after four quotes I got from high-end jewellers.

I will certainly recommend and use again."

— Brigitte Holm

"Highly recommend Wayne from Antiques of Sussex.

His customer service was excellent and he went above and beyond to make sure I got a fair price for the items I wanted to sell.

He paid me there and then and made the entire process very quick and easy.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Wayne and his company to anyone looking to sell precious items. Thanks again!"

M Porter

 

"I had a great experience with Wayne at Antiques of Sussex.

He was polite, punctual and very easy to deal with, offering a good, fair price for my unwanted gold items.

The whole process was smooth and reassuring. He communicates promptly, is happy to do home visits and pays immediately, which makes everything very convenient.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone."

Bradlie Bennett

 

"Fantastic! Wayne was incredibly fast and efficient at evaluating my silver and paying me fairly on the spot.

Wayne had excellent communication and once I had explained that I had some old silver to sell, he was willing to visit my home to make my sale as easy as possible.

However, this is difficult with my dogs. It did turn out that my work was only 10 minutes away from his office, which worked for me, but I can see how for others the option of a home visit would be incredibly helpful and beneficial.

Thank you Wayne for operating such an exemplary and personable service!"

— Bradlie Bennett

 

Alan Bigg

 

"Wayne came to our house today to price up some jewellery.

He was very attentive, knowledgeable and honest. He answered all our questions, explained how it all works very clearly and was honest.

He also paid out as soon as we were happy with the price by bank transfer.

Did I mention he was honest? Highly recommend."

— Alan Bigg

 

Katie Welch

 

"Wayne visited my home to assess a number of items we no longer required, including some silver.

He provided an initial price over the phone, then attended in person to inspect the items and paid in cash immediately. The entire process was handled professionally, and Wayne was transparent and honest throughout. I would not hesitate to use his services again and would highly recommend him."

— Katie Welch

"Great experience with Antiques of Sussex.

Wayne was very knowledgeable and gave me a fair price for my gold. He was very quick getting back to me and even did a home visit the same day. He paid me immediately and was very professional. I’m super happy with the service and would definitely recommend him to anyone."

— Christian Black

 

John Lindley

 

"It was an absolute pleasure to deal with Wayne.

Prompt response to my enquiry, a home visit was arranged for the following day.

He arrived at the agreed time and after a good chat about my unwanted bits and pieces we negotiated a mutually agreeable price.

I found him charming, personable and very professional, and a pleasure to do business with.

If ever I have anything else of value to sell I will be in touch."

— John Lindley

He provided a consultation with helpful information and no pressure to sell. A great person to deal with if you’re buying or selling. I’d definitely recommend him to all. Thanks Wayne."

Michaela Kilgour

 

"I would really recommend Wayne.

I had a gold necklace to sell and he gave me a very good price for it and cash instantly, which was great. He also came to my house to value and collect the item, which saved me time and effort.

Thanks Wayne!"
