We think buying great vintage items should be fun and easy. We take care of all the details so you don’t have to. We make it as clear and straightforward for you as possible:
Who Owns This Stuff?
- The Seller is the owner, not us. The items in our inventory are consigned for sale to Brutal Vintage. This means we are granted permission to sell the items as indicated on our site.
- Privacy and safety is protected. We do not reveal the identity, address or contact information of the seller to the buyer, nor the buyer to the seller, without written consent.
What Does Vintage Mean?
- Vintage usually means 25 years or older. When people talk about vintage, they typically mean 25 to 100 years old. But old doesn’t mean unfashionable – vintage is desirable, especially today.
- Antique is vintage too. Older than 100 years is antique, so by definition antique is also vintage. But we’re not into boring antiques. So we’ve got antiques here too, but with desirable vintage flair.
- We’re about distinctively vintage. Age alone isn’t enough. Brutal Vintage is about vintage items that are distinctive, interesting and cool.
What About Expensive Items?
- We have valuation experts on our team. Our valuation experts consult with sellers to advise them on setting reasonable prices, especially on expensive items.
- We can arrange for authentication and appraisal. We are not licensed authenticators or appraisers, but can arrange for either service for you upon request (without markup, of course).
What About Restoration?
- Our team includes some of the finest restoration experts available anywhere. They’re ready to serve you right here in our Atlanta facilities.
- Refurbish and restoration services are optional. Before or after you purchase any item, we’ll be happy to discuss refurbish and restoration recommendations with you.
Delivery Options:
- We arrange delivery for you. As a service to you, we’ll arrange for delivery on your behalf. We’ll offer you the best choices we can. And we won’t profit from it. Any delivery costs are charged as incurred, no markup.
- You can pickup too. If you are in the greater Atlanta area, you’re welcome to pickup if you wish.
Storage Options:
- After you purchase an item, we can arrange for temporary storage in our Atlanta facility if needed. Just let us know, we’ll try to accommodate your needs.
