Every clearance includes The Hunt — we search for valuables before clearing, and share the profits with you.
Unlike traditional clearance companies who just throw everything in a van, we take a different approach. Before anything leaves your property, we hunt for hidden value — items that could be sold to offset your clearance costs.
During your clearance, we carefully sort through everything. We're looking for items with resale potential: vintage tools, retro electronics, collectibles, quality furniture, audio equipment, sporting goods, and more.
Items we identify as sellable are taken away and listed on eBay, Facebook Marketplace, or sent to local auction houses. We handle all the photography, descriptions, enquiries, and shipping.
We give items 30 days to sell. If they sell within this window, you're entitled to your kickback. If they don't sell, we either re-list at a lower price or donate them — but either way, your space is clear.
When items sell, we calculate the net profit (sale price minus eBay/PayPal fees and any shipping costs) and transfer 30% directly to your bank account. We send you a full breakdown so you can see exactly how it's calculated.
The Job: Margaret books a Half-Day Haul to clear her late father's garage in St Ives. The clearance fee is £375.
The Hunt: During the clearance, we find a vintage Stanley plane, a working Dyson vacuum, and a box of old vinyl records.
Margaret's effective clearance cost: £375 - £63.75 = £311.25
You don't owe us anything extra. The Treasure Hunt is a bonus on top of your clearance — if items don't sell, you've still got a clear space. We take the risk on unsold items, not you.
We send you full transparency on every sale: screenshots of the listing, the final sale price, the fees deducted, and how we calculated your 30%. You can also check eBay "sold" listings yourself to verify market rates.
Absolutely. During The Hunt, we'll show you anything we think has value. If you want to keep it, no problem — it's yours. We only take items you're happy for us to sell.
Vintage hand tools, retro electronics (hi-fi, speakers, game consoles), quality furniture, garden equipment, bicycles, collectibles, books (first editions), vinyl records, branded items (Dyson, Bosch, etc.), and anything with a known brand or cult following.
We batch payments monthly. At the end of each month, we'll send you a statement of everything that sold and transfer your kickback via bank transfer. Typically within 7 days of the statement.
Hunt 'n' Haul provides a compassionate clearance service which includes a "best endeavours" attempt to identify items with potential resale value. We are not certified appraisers or antique valuers.
While we strive to identify saleable items, we accept no liability for items of value that are overlooked during the clearance process or disposed of as waste. If you believe you have items of significant value, we recommend obtaining a professional valuation before clearance.
Any resale estimates provided are informal opinions based on current secondary market trends (e.g., eBay sold listings, auction results) and do not constitute a formal professional valuation. Actual sale prices may vary.
We act as your agent in selling items. We cannot guarantee a specific sale price or that an item will sell at all. Items are sold at current market value, and Hunt 'n' Haul is not liable if an item sells for less than the client's expectation. Market conditions fluctuate and buyer interest varies.
Your 30% kickback is calculated on the net profit after deducting platform fees (eBay, PayPal, auction house commission) and any shipping or delivery costs. A full breakdown will be provided with each payment.
