Arrowhead and Artifact FAQS
Please read our Frequently Asked Questions below:
Q: Is it legal to buy and sell Native American artifacts?
A: Yes, as long as the items were found in accordance with state and federal laws, they are completely legal to buy, sell, and trade. Please review YOUR STATE’S LAWS if you are in question about the legality of what you are selling. By submitting artifacts to us, you certify that the artifacts were legally obtained in accordance to all federal and state laws.
Q: What types of items does Arrowheads.com purchase?
A: While our main focus is in our namesake, we handle a wide variety of items in addition to North American arrowheads and related artifacts. We purchase other types of legally obtained prehistoric artifacts from around the globe, as well as other items often associated with artifacts. These items
include, but are not limited to: fossils, military items, knives, swords, antique firearms, antique books, etc. Feel free to check with us on any other items that you may be wondering about.
Q: How do I go about selling my collection?
A: The process is quick and simple. Start by filling out the collection information form here . Once we make our initial evaluation, depending on where you are located, you can bring the items to one of our offices, ship them to us, or we can very likely just appraise your collection from well taken photographs. For very large collections, we occasionally can travel to your location for viewing. This will allow us to evaluate them in person for the most accurate pricing.
Q: How will I get paid?
A: We offer fast and easy payment options regardless of the size of your collection. In-person transactions can be made by cash or check. If you have to mail your items to us, we can issue payment by check or PayPal. Most collections can be evaluated and settled within a few days.
Q: If I live too far away, is it possible to mail my arrowheads to you? If so, how do I safely package them for shipping?
A: Yes, it is quite common for arrowheads to be mailed to us from around the globe. The process is easy, and when properly packaged and insured, completely safe and trouble free. Arrowheads can be surprisingly fragile, so each one should be wrapped separately in bubble wrap or other padding (tissue paper, newspaper, cloth, etc.) that will protect them from bumping into each other during transit. If you simply place a group of arrowheads in a bag and mail them you can expect breakage which will seriously hurt their value.
Q: Where do I ship the items to?
A: Contact John@arrowheads.com for shipping information.
Q: How do I contact arrowheads.com about selling my collection?

level of interest. Our ultimate goal is to always please our clients. If we buy your artifacts, we promise to
be as fair as we can as it is our rule to never take advantage of anyone.
