Rare Vintage Tech & Classic Gadgets

About RetroVault

Who We Are

RetroVault was founded in 2018 by a group of vintage technology enthusiasts who were frustrated by the lack of reliable, honest sources for authentic antique gadgets. We set out to build a curated marketplace where collectors could buy with confidence.

What We Do

We physically source, authenticate, and where appropriate, restore antique and vintage tech items from across the globe. Every item listed on our site has been examined in-person by our specialist team before it goes on sale.

Our Standards

We believe in radical transparency. Every listing includes an honest condition report — including any flaws, scratches, or missing components. We never airbrush reality to make a sale.

Our Team

Our team includes specialist authenticators with expertise in vintage computing, analogue photography, classic audio, and retro fashion. Combined, our team has over 60 years of experience in the collectibles space.

General

By accessing and using the RetroVault website, you accept and agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree, please do not use this site.

Product Descriptions

We make every effort to describe our products accurately and honestly. All vintage and antique items are sold in the condition described. Photographs are of the actual item for sale. Minor variations from photos are possible and will be noted in the condition report.

Pricing

All prices are displayed in US Dollars (USD) and exclude applicable taxes and shipping costs. Prices are subject to change without notice. The price at the time of order confirmation is the price you pay.

Orders and Payment

Submitting an inquiry form does not constitute a purchase. An order is only confirmed upon receipt of payment and our written confirmation. We reserve the right to cancel any order at any time prior to dispatch.

Intellectual Property

All website content, including text, photographs, and design, is the property of RetroVault and may not be reproduced without written permission. Product names and trademarks referenced belong to their respective owners and are used for identification purposes only.

Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, USA. Any disputes will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Delaware.

Disclaimer

Affiliate & Advertising Disclosure

RetroVault may participate in affiliate marketing programmes. This means we may earn a commission if you click on certain links and make a purchase through a partner. This does not affect the price you pay and does not influence our product recommendations or descriptions.

Product Authenticity

While we take extensive measures to authenticate all items, RetroVault cannot guarantee the authenticity of items sourced from third-party sellers beyond the verification steps conducted by our team. Full condition and authenticity reports are provided with each significant purchase.

Not an Authorised Dealer

RetroVault is an independent secondhand and antique retailer. We are not authorised dealers, agents, or official representatives of any manufacturer, brand, or trademark referenced on this website. All referenced brand names are trademarks of their respective owners.

Investment Warning

Vintage and antique collectibles can fluctuate in value. Nothing on this website constitutes investment advice. Past resale values are no guarantee of future performance. Buy because you love the item, not as a financial investment strategy.

Condition Wear

All items are antique or vintage and will show signs of age consistent with their era. We describe all known cosmetic and functional characteristics honestly, but items over 30–80 years old may have undisclosed wear typical of their age.

Returns Policy

30-Day Return Guarantee

We offer a 30-day return policy on all items. If you are not satisfied with your purchase for any reason, contact us within 30 days of receiving your order to initiate a return.

Condition for Return

Items must be returned in the same condition in which they were received, with all original accessories and packaging. Items that have been damaged after delivery are not eligible for return.

Refund Process

Once we receive and inspect the returned item, we will issue a full refund to your original payment method within 5–10 business days. Original shipping costs are non-refundable unless the return is due to our error.

How to Return

Contact us via the inquiry form with your order number and reason for return. We will provide a return shipping label and instructions. Do not send items back without prior authorisation.

Exclusions

Custom-sourced items requested specifically for a buyer are non-returnable unless they arrive materially different from the agreed description.
