Sell or Trade Your Piece

Trade up to something you love, or let your piece find its next home. We handle the hard part.

Two ways to sell, and it depends where the piece came from

Whether you are selling a piece from your own collection or bringing back something you bought from us, you can take cash or trade-in credit. The rates differ, and credit is always worth more, because credit keeps you in the collection.

Pieces not bought from us

We assess the piece, agree a fair selling price with you, and then make you two offers on that price: 35% in cash, paid immediately, or 50% in trade-in credit, usable on anything in the collection. Credit is the better value if you are upgrading; cash is best when you want a clean, fast sale.

Pieces bought from us: the Buyback Promise

Anything you bought from The Bougainvilla holds its value here. Bring it back and choose 50% of the sold price in cash, or 70% of the sold price in trade-in credit. The sold price is the price of the piece itself; delivery charges in either direction are not part of the calculation.

Not sure which offer suits you? Submit your piece and we will lay out your options, and you choose.

The Buyback Promise, in full

The promise holds for 24 months from delivery at Collector level, and extends to 48 or 60 months for Connoisseur and Patron members, after a minimum of six months of ownership, provided the piece returns in the condition it left us, allowing for careful display. Return of the piece to us is arranged and borne by you. Credit is usable on anything in the collection. See the membership tiers.

We can stand behind our pricing this way for a simple reason: we would not have sold you the piece unless we were happy to own it again.

What we accept

How it works

1

Submit photos and a brief description of your item on WhatsApp.

2

We review your submission. If it meets our standards, we arrange a viewing or request additional images.

3

We value your piece against current market knowledge and make you an offer: cash, trade-in credit, or both for you to choose between.

4

You accept the offer that suits you. Cash is paid immediately; credit is issued to your account and usable on anything in the collection.

5

We coordinate collection of your piece. Nothing else for you to do.

Why sell to us

One conversation, a firm offer, and immediate payment. No listing fees, no waiting for a buyer, no strangers in your home. We are selective by design: we will not buy anything we would not be proud to own ourselves, which is why every offer we make is a serious one.

Every piece we acquire joins a collection priced well below gallery retail, so your piece finds its next home with someone who will value it as you did.
