How it works

Private exchange for serious collectors

Aureum Vault is not a marketplace. It's a private, curated exchange that connects verified buyers and sellers of significant collectables through a discreet, secure process.

Who is this for

Built for both sides of the trade

๐Ÿ“ฆ

Sellers & estates

You have a collection, asset or estate to sell. You want a serious buyer โ€” not a dealer who'll low-ball, not a public auction that exposes your price. You need discretion.

  • Inherited collections needing discreet sale
  • Investors liquidating alternative assets
  • Dealers sourcing quality stock
  • Collectors upgrading or thinning their holdings
  • Estate executors and trustees
  • Insurers and lenders liquidating assets
๐Ÿ”

Buyers & collectors

You know exactly what you want. You're tired of losing auctions, paying retail premiums, or never finding the right piece. You want first access to private collections.

  • Serious collectors completing sets
  • Investors building alternative asset portfolios
  • Dealers sourcing off-market inventory
  • Family offices and private wealth managers
  • Museum and institutional buyers
  • Anyone who wants to buy privately, not at auction
The process

From first contact to settlement

01

Submit your listing (free)

Tell us what you have to sell or what you're looking to buy. No account required. Your contact details are kept private at this stage โ€” only the asset details are shared with our matching engine.

  • Takes 5โ€“10 minutes
  • Photos optional but recommended
  • Price range or firm price โ€” your choice
  • Your identity stays private until you approve a connection
02

Automated buyer discovery

Our buyer discovery engine continuously scans Reddit, eBay Wanted, Facebook Marketplace, and specialist collector forums for buyers actively seeking assets like yours. We score each signal for genuine intent.

  • Feed updated every 30 minutes
  • 250+ active buyer signals at any time
  • Each signal scored 1โ€“5 for buyer intent and seriousness
  • Budget, location, and specific requirements captured
03

Match notification

When a buyer and seller align on category, price range, condition and location, both parties are notified by email. No contact details are shared at this stage โ€” just the match summary and a score.

  • Email notification within hours of a match being found
  • Match score shows how closely the criteria align
  • You can accept or decline without any obligation
  • Multiple matches possible for popular asset types
04

Upgrade to connect (Member access)

To unlock the other party's contact details and initiate direct contact, a Member subscription is required. Members also gain access to the full buyer feed with contact details, direct messaging and match history.

  • Member: $417/month or $5,000/year
  • Instant access to all active buyer signals
  • Direct messaging through the platform
  • KYC identity verification on both parties
05

NDA & confidentiality

Before any sensitive information (provenance documents, detailed authentication, home address) is shared, both parties sign a digital mutual NDA. This is handled through the platform and takes minutes.

  • Digital NDA signed by both parties
  • Covers all confidential information shared during negotiation
  • Governed by Australian law
  • Template provided โ€” legal review recommended for high-value transactions
06

Negotiation & settlement

Parties negotiate directly. For transactions above $10,000 we strongly recommend independent escrow. The platform collects a 1โ€“1.5% commission on successful completion.

  • Negotiate price, terms and settlement directly
  • Independent escrow recommended for security
  • Professional authentication and valuation referrals available
  • Platform commission: 1.5% (Member) or 1% (Executive), minimum $2,500
