Send a few photos

Snap the gear and any labels, tell us what you think it is. That's it.

We send an estimated offer from your photos, plus a free prepaid label — no cost to you.

3

Ship it free

Box it up, slap on the label, drop it off. Shipping's on us.

We bench-test it and confirm the offer. As described, that's your price — paid fast by PayPal, Cash App, or Venmo, your pick.


Why Nixie Vintage

The honest end of the buyback business.

People, not an algorithm

An actual collector looks at your gear and knows the difference between a $30 body and a $300 one.

Everything gets bench-tested

We power it on, run it, and confirm it works before a dollar changes hands.

Zero risk to you

Don't like our final number? We ship it right back — free. You never pay for shipping, testing, or anything else.

Fast, free, friendly

Free label, quick turnaround, and a real reply from a real person every time.

Your offer is an estimate until we test it — a working piece and a broken one aren't worth the same, and we won't pretend otherwise. We'll tell you the real number straight, and if it's not a deal, it comes back to you free.
