Company mission

To make it easy to buy and sell unique and sought-after items worldwide.

Our take

The market for collectibles is booming. Traditional auction houses are being replaced by digital alternatives, and around the world, collectors are moving online to look for trusted platforms to buy and sell unique items. And as more see collectibles as not just a hobby but as serious investments, the demand is only going to keep growing.

The Collecting Group, known as "the home of the global collector" houses specialist platforms, Collecting Cars and Watch Collecting, that make buying and selling easy and exciting. Whether it's a rare Porsche or a vintage Rolex, the company brings together serious buyers and sellers from over 120 countries.

And in just five years, The Collecting Group has grown fast (and shows no signs of slowing down). With over $1B in global sales and over 350,000 registered users, it's really has earned its title as the home of the global collector. Now, the company is looking to expand into new categories and international market, and with momentum on its side, it will surely see even more success for years to come.
