Inherited facsimiles
I have inherited facsimiles: What do I do with them?
It's common to inherit a library of facsimiles acquired over the years, sometimes without really knowing what they are or how much they're worth. We help you identify them and put them up for sale safely, without rushing and without dealing with strangers.
Four steps before selling
1. Look for the documentation. The certificate of authenticity is usually inside the case or study volume. Purchase receipts, if kept, are also helpful.
2. Identify the work and the publisher. They appear on the title page, in the colophon or on the certificate itself, along with the copy number and the print run.
3. Check the status without restoring anything. Do not clean the leaves or the case with products. Photograph each piece in natural light, including any imperfections.
4. Decide how to sell. You can list the copies one by one, or if there are many, write to us to discuss the best way to put them up for sale.
If you're unsure where to begin, please describe what you've found using the form. Photos of the spine, cover, and certificate will help us identify the edition.

Frequently Asked Questions
I don't know if they're facsimiles or worthless reproductions. Can you help me?
Yes. Send us photos and we'll tell you which edition it is. A quality facsimile usually includes a copy number, certificate, and publisher information. You can also read our guide. Facsimile or replica: how to tell them apart.
Who is listed as the seller if the inheritance belongs to several siblings?
The ad is posted by someone using their own seller account, who is the one who receives payment and is registered with the tax authorities. Please agree on the terms before posting.
How much does it cost to sell?
Publishing is free with the Free Plan, which allows up to 3 ads. You only pay when you sell: the Club charges a 10% commission on the price of each copy (VAT included). With the Member Plan (€9.90 per month, with a 30-day trial), you can have up to 25 ads, and the commission drops to 8%. Shipping costs paid by the buyer are your responsibility. The payment processor's (Stripe) fee is deducted from your earnings.
When do I get paid?
The buyer pays through the website, and the money is held. Once they confirm receipt of the item and 72 hours pass without incident, the payment is transferred. If the buyer does not confirm receipt, the sale is automatically closed 14 days after shipment.
Who is in charge of shipping?
You can choose your preferred carrier. From your account panel, you can select the carrier and provide the tracking number. You have 5 business days from payment to ship the order; otherwise, it will be canceled and the buyer will be refunded.
What happens if the buyer complains?
If the buyer opens a dispute (with photos), the payment is frozen. You can accept the return or explain your position, and if there is no agreement, the Club decides. Therefore, it's advisable to describe the condition in detail and photograph any defects.
What information are they asking me for and why?
To process your payment, we verify your identity through our payment provider. Furthermore, European regulation DAC7 requires platforms to collect the name, tax identification number (NIF), address, and date of birth of sellers and to report to the tax authorities those who exceed 30 sales or €2,000 per year.
Can I put my phone number in the ad?
No. All communication and payment take place online: this protects both buyer and seller. Ads containing phone numbers, emails, or external links are not published.
