A less awkward way to sell
The value is in the plant collection, not the message thread.
Private marketplaces can work, but they often involve writing an advert, answering similar questions several times, arranging viewings and dealing with uncertain buyers. Zarax gives you a single route from the first description through to inspection and payment.
The process is deliberately straightforward. Share accurate information and clear photographs, then we can decide whether the item is something we want to buy. Read how a Zarax quotation progresses before you begin if you would like the full picture.
What shapes the offer
Six details help turn your plant collection into a realistic valuation.
A precise model matters, but it is only one part of the assessment.

Mention what is present, what works and anything that a photograph alone may not explain.
Pot type and included stands
Mention what is present, what works and anything that a photograph alone may not explain.
Health, pests and recent treatment
Mention what is present, what works and anything that a photograph alone may not explain.
Light and watering conditions
Mention what is present, what works and anything that a photograph alone may not explain.
Safe collection and transport access
Mention what is present, what works and anything that a photograph alone may not explain.
An honest description helps avoid surprises when the item is inspected. Our guide to how condition can influence an offer explains why small details are worth including.

Clean the item enough for its condition, labels and fittings to be assessed.
02
Photograph every side, the model label, accessories and any visible wear.
03
Keep loose parts, cables and accessories together.
If the item needs to be sent, use the private instructions we provide and follow our packaging guidance. Do not send anything until Zarax has confirmed that it wishes to proceed.

Customer feedback
Real experiences from people who sold their plant collection through Zarax.
Several healthy houseplants had outgrown my flat. Zarax considered the photos and arranged a sensible local collection.
I listed the plant types, pot sizes and general condition, including one damaged leaf. Zarax reviewed the group rather than making me advertise each pot separately. Collection was agreed clearly.
Moving into a smaller flat meant I could not keep all of my larger houseplants. I photographed each one in daylight, included approximate heights and pot sizes, and pointed out the torn leaf on the monstera. Zarax considered the group and discussed which plants they were interested in. Collection was arranged with enough care for the pots and foliage, and payment was made once everything had been checked.
Moving day was close and the big pots were not coming with me. Zarax considered the group from fresh photos. 🌱
I grouped the plants by species and added ruler shots beside the larger pots, including a clear view of the damaged leaf tips.
Moving into a darker flat meant several of my larger plants would struggle, especially the tall rubber plant and sun-loving succulents. I grouped them by size, photographed the roots where practical and noted a minor fungus gnat issue that had already been treated. Zarax reviewed what was suitable, discussed the handover and paid the agreed amount for the accepted plants.
Useful questions
Before you part with your plant collection.
These answers cover the parts of the process people usually want to confirm before requesting a quote.
Value my plant collectionStart with the brand, full model number, specifications and an honest description of the condition. Add clear photographs of the item, label, accessories and any faults.
Potentially, yes. Acceptance depends on the item and the fault. Explain exactly what happens when it is switched on or used, and show the damaged area clearly.
Not always. The original packaging, power supply, remote, manuals or matching accessories can provide useful context, so list everything that is included.
Do not send the item before receiving confirmation. If we wish to proceed, the receiving location and delivery instructions are shared with you privately.
Payment follows receipt or collection and inspection. If the item matches the agreed details, Zarax pays the agreed amount by bank transfer or PayPal. If anything differs materially, we contact you first.
