When do you buy?
We have a drop-off system, so you are welcome to bring your items by any time during our business hours, no appointment necessary. We will contact you with your offer by the next day.
What if I have a really large collection?
If it sounds like a good fit for us, we are happy to come to you. Please email us at rocketreuse@gmail.com to coordinate.
Do you pay in cash or in trade?
For the time being, we are only making cash offers (giving double in store credit just isn't sustainable until we see sales stabilize). Thank you so much for your support and patience!
Do you accept donations?
Absolutely! We LOVE donations of items that we sell in the store. Unfortunately, we cannot take items that are listed in the "What Don't You Accept" section.
