I took 12 albums and FDC's to Warwick & Warwick just before Christmas. They valued my collection, but I later realised later I had 2 stamps with errors on, which I had put among the stamps of little value, one of them in a small folder not visible to the naked eye. Realising my mistake, I rang the company from Belgium and spoke to Joseph. He told me he would check the albums concerned and ring me back.He rang me back, and admitted he had not seen the stamp which was hidden,and gave his opinion and advice on the rest of the collection. The collection was revalued and I accepted the offer. I found Joseph very friendly, helpful and most of all honest. I was dealt with in a professional manner, and would have no hesitation in recommending Warwick & Warwick. Robert in Brussels.

Unfortunately we cant give less than 1 star. We left a substantial collection of model railway items: several locomotives, a lot of rolling stock, track, signals, controller, unassembled buildings etc. from East Germany (Piko DDR) prior to the wall coming down. They were all unused and in pristine condition although some of the boxes were damaged. As we were unhappy with the buy offer and the auction estimate we decided to collect. When they were brought to us it was quite obvious that they had been treated with scant regard. Boxes were further damaged and it would appear that they had been dropped. Quite a number of the higher value items were badly damaged and some had pieces missing rendering them unsaleable. Our mistake was not to have photographed everything before we took them. When we explained that some items were missing they actually found another box. Unfortunately we still feel that a couple of items are missing. They did admit their liability, offered an apology and some compensation but this experience has caused some distress and upset as the items had been carefully stored for over 40 years. We left our items in good faith with complete trust that they would be well cared for. Its hard to believe what has happened. Under no circumstances could we recommend this auction house.

Having taken on responsibility for getting my father in law's treasured stamp collection valued with a view to selling, I first investigated three well known auction houses inc. Stanley Gibbons. Warwick and Warwick were from the start professional, friendly and efficient, making sure that expectations were tempered by explaining that the collectors valuation based on "catalogue" values, is invariably far higher than the true market value which would only be realised at auction. They were helpful and made themselves available to explain directly to my wife's disgruntled siblings who were expecting "hundreds of thousands", why there was such a discrepancy between catalogue value and market value. The collection was subsequently valued at around 24K with one specific album making up 20K of that total. The collection was vociferously marketed, with presentation in their sale catalogue and W&W contacting their extensive worldwide network of buyers . Note that as they are on a competitive commission rate, it is completely in their interest to maximise the sale price achieved, which then reveals the true value of the collection. My wife and I logged into the online auction relayed from the auction rooms, and were thrilled along with the W&W staff to witness the reserve price exceeded by over 60% at 38K, with the main album making 13K over the reserve of 20K. Warwick and Warwick have a reassuring mix of vast knowledge and contacts in what is in essence and "old world" environment, along with up to date marketing/online auction facilities to get in front of as many potential buyers as possible. I therefore have no hesitation in wholeheartedly recommending them for the valuation and sale of stamps.
