Sell on BidCurios

We don’t buy items directly. We are a marketplace providing you a platform for connecting with buyers. Because we are focussed only on collectibles, we target to a niche audience who are interested in collecting these items. If you want to sell your items, you need to register as a seller and list your items. When your coins or stamps or other items sell, we will deduct commission and transfer the money in your bank account.

We request that you do your own research on what your items are worth. We can help you identify the coin/stamp you have and provide you with information about the price range it typically sells in the market. However this is a paid service. Minimum charge for identification and evaluation is Rs. 2000 for up to 40 coins or stamps. Payment needs to be made in advance. You will send us clear pictures and we will provide you information about your coins or stamps.

In our experience, 99.9% of the times if you have coins / stamps that you found lying around your house are typically common coins/stamps, even if they may be hundreds of years old, that may fetch you a few hundred rupees or a few thousand rupees if you work at presenting the items well and selling them online.
