With a 24-hour turnaround between send-off and payment, the company has nailed the formula through cultivating a trading network of auction houses, museums, institutions and independent collectors. UK-focused at present, Vintage Cash Cow continues to scale its operations, and has landed publicity through leading newspaper recommendations.
