Some consigment reviews, and yes these are real people:
Gerard: “I got in touch with TimeToWrite through an acquaintance to sell my pen collection. Over the past thirty years, I had amassed a large number of pens from brands such as Montblanc, Parker, and Waterman. Together, we devised a plan to offer the pens for sale in a way that would maximize the return. We drew up an inventory at my home and agreed on the next steps. Throughout the process, I was kept regularly updated on the proceeds. While the results for some pens were a bit disappointing, most performed far better than I had ever expected. The presentation of the items and the financial settlement were flawless. All in all, I received a handsome sum without having to put in much effort myself. I can certainly recommend TimeToWrite!”
The Bruijning family: “We, the Bruijning family, first made contact through the buying and selling of fountain pens. A personal conversation over a cup of coffee soon led to a different area of interest: watches. We had a number of 1980s watches lying around in a box ‘in the attic.’ Since they hadn’t been used for a long time, we decided to offer them through TimeToWrite. Beyond their solid market knowledge and pleasant manner, they took all the ‘work’ off our hands. All the watches were sold; we were kept neatly informed about each individual watch, received quick payment, and paid a very reasonable commission. In short, we are very satisfied and would recommend this sales route to anyone! The Bruijning family”
Marco B.: “I got in touch with TimeToWrite through the Penshop in Nijmegen. The initial phone call was very pleasant and gave a trustworthy impression. The appointment to view the pen collection and reach an agreement went smoothly and confirmed that sense of trust. The quality of the photos taken of each item was professional and detailed. Before, during, and after the online auction, I was kept adequately informed about the sales status, shipping, and the various payments made by (international) buyers. The proceeds exceeded expectations. Thanks to their meticulousness and the fast, accessible collaboration, I would recommend TimeToWrite to others looking to sell special collections.”
Michael B.: “I came into contact with TimeToWrite via a watch forum. I had a question about a watch that was a family heirloom, and he offered—should I be interested—to sell the piece for me. After speaking on the phone, he explained his working method and exactly what would happen. And that is precisely how it went. The watch was sold within a week, yielding a surprisingly positive result. The interim updates and the final handling of the sale were handled with great professionalism. It was also an enjoyable experience; I felt as though we were truly handling the sale together. A very pleasant collaboration. Thanks again.”
B. Kuijpers.: “TimeToWrite provided excellent assistance in selling two special Montblanc pens from an inheritance. During a personal meeting, the process was explained, and we agreed on the steps to be taken. We were able to follow the entire process and were kept well-informed of the progress along the way. Ultimately, the proceeds exceeded our expectations. Reliable, enthusiastic, and committed—that is how I would describe their approach.”
Kevin S.: “I got in touch with TimeToWrite via Catawiki; I had a significant number of Zippo lighters from my grandfather’s estate. After a detailed conversation, we arranged for them to be collected. In total, a thousand lighters were sold for a very substantial sum—far more than I had anticipated. The entire process went very smoothly, with plenty of communication beforehand and throughout. I would recommend this service to anyone.”
Tini van W.: “My collection of about 30 watches was gathering dust, and I wanted to sell them to fund a nice watch that had long been on my wish list. I visited two watch boutiques to see about trading some of them in for a new one. The trade-in offers were low, and according to others, some of the watches had no value. A watch shop referred me to TimeToWrite via the internet. I contacted them and dropped off the collection. The first watch sold was an immediate hit, fetching a much higher price than the trade-in offers. The sales of the other items ranged from good to very good, with just a couple performing slightly less well. I also had them sell a pen set and some toy cars for me. The reason the proceeds far exceeded my expectations is that TimeToWrite takes beautiful, detailed photos and provides honest descriptions for buyers. They also know exactly where to list items to achieve the highest returns.
TimeToWrite is 100% trustworthy, completely transparent about the sales process, and pays out quickly. A top-notch service that takes all the hassle off your hands.”
