Have a Department 56 or Lemax village collection you’re ready to sell?

Vintage Villages purchases complete collections and select individual pieces from collectors across Canada. Whether you’re downsizing, moving, or simply ready to pass your pieces on, we make the process simple, fair, and straightforward.

How It Works

1. Tell Us About Your Collection

Use the form below or email us with:

• A list of pieces (if available)
• The approximate number of items
• Photos of the collection
• Overall condition

Don’t worry if you don’t have a full list. Photos are often enough for us to begin.

2. Receive Your Offer

We review collections using current market data and condition to determine a fair offer.

Most offers are ready within 48 hours.

3. Drop Off or Ship Your Collection

Drop-Off (Preferred)
For small to medium collections, we typically ask that items be dropped off at our store.

Collections delivered in person may qualify for an offer increase of up to 5%, depending on size, condition, and completeness.

Shipping
If drop-off isn’t possible, we can provide a prepaid shipping label to make the process easy and convenient.

Large Collections
For pallet-sized collections, we can arrange freight pickup. Items must be securely packed into boxes and placed onto skids or pallets before pickup.

Collection Size Guide

For reference:

Small Collection
One box to a few boxes.

Medium Collection
Multiple boxes that can fit in a car or SUV.

Large Collection
Palletized collections or those requiring freight shipping.

If you’re unsure where your collection fits, simply send photos and we’ll help determine the best option.
