"I have been with Selling Antiques since the beginning, in fact, I was their first dealer (although I didn't know it at the time!)
During this period I have sold a great deal of stock through the site, mainly items into four figures, and met some good, long-term customers.
I've had weeks in which one sale after another kept happening.....and weeks in which nothing happened for what seemed like an eternity!
The important point is that, for me, it has been hugely cost-effective.
Selling Antiques is not a magic cure-all....but I believe it is the best antiques selling site, often admired by my customers for its ease of use, and it is the corner stone of my business.

"I was one of the first dealers to join the Selling Antiques site on its founding. That is now a few years ago. The site is very easy to use, the pages load very quickly at all times, and seem to have excellent exposure to the search engines.
The greater proportion of enquiries and sales I receive originate through them. Although the quantity of contributors to the site grows all the time, Selling Antiques have not lost the personal element towards their customers and in my experience have been very fair in their pricing and what they offer for it.."

"At Antiquedesks.net we have been successfully promoting our range at Sellingantiques.co.uk for several years.
During that time, we have received positive and enthusiastic comments from customers and have recommended the site to those seeking antique furniture beyond our range.
Along with our customers, we have found the site easy to use and easy to navigate.
In summary, as long as Sellingantiques.co.uk maintains its focus on offering convenience, good value and a high ranking in terms of the Google search engine results, I can see no reason why our successful association with them should not continue for many years to come. "

"I have found the selling antiques site most usefull, both from the points of view of selling the finest of porcelain, and also buying from the interesting noticeboard.
I seem to have found an excellent niche in the market here for both fine porcelain, and also the more affordable.
The customers seem to come from all over the world, and I have met some top notch collectors and dealers, who have not argued too much with my prices (if at all), as I have explained that they are my 'best', because I am trying to buck the general trend, and give people a good deal."
