"I contacted Paul at Lakeside Traders looking for a way to sell some vintage military badges. He was very quick at replying to all my emails and answering questions. The process was so easy. He gave me a very fair offer and then sent a mailing label so I could send the items to him. One day after he received the items, I had the funds in my PayPal account. It was a great experience all around. Thanks Paul! "

"I had some militaria that I wanted to sell but found it difficult to do through regular market sites. I found Lakeside Trader through a Google search and reviewed the site and feedback. I contacted Paul, who was prompt with communication and walked me through the purchase process. I had payment in no time and Paul went above and beyond what I had expected. It couldn't have been an easier process and transaction. I would highly recommend Lakeside Trader and Paul if you are looking to buy or sell militaria!"

"I found Paul and his business online looking for a source to sell a military dagger. I read all the reviews on Paul and his business and thought that it all sounded too good to be true. I took photos of my dagger and emailed them to Paul. Within 24 hours he had responded and given me a ball park figure pending an inspection upon receipt. Paul sent me an ups shipping label with all info prepped by him. All I had to do was pack the dagger and ship it to Canada. While my dagger was in transit from California to Canada again I wondered, is this all really too good to be true? So far this has been really easy. I thought the snag is going to be once the dagger is in Paul’s possession the real negotiation is going to take place. Nope, I was wrong! The whole thing went as smooth and easy as everyone else had described in their reviews of Paul! I was tracking the items progress and within a couple of hours of being delivered to Paul I had a request from him to send my funds! Funds received same day! The entire process for me was done through email! Thanks again Paul! You’re the best! "

"Never would I have expected a transaction to go as smoothly and easily as this did. I had some old German daggers that were given to me in 1960 when I was 12 years old by a family friend who owned a military surplus store. Due to personal health reasons I decided to try to get rid of them so as to save my wife the trouble of doing it. I saw Paul’s website, sent him an email with pictures, he sent me an approximated valuation and instructions on how to send them, even providing me with the shipping label. He received them today and 30 minutes later the money was in my PayPal account. The entire transaction took less than 10 days. I couldn’t have gotten better service if I asked for it. "

"I am always a sceptic about these sorts of things. Buying and selling from unchecked third party companies, but the amount of positive feedback I have seen, both here and online, gave me the level of trust I needed to try this out. They were not wrong. Communication was timely, and we negotiated to a very reasonable price. This couldn’t not have went smoother on my end. This should be anyone’s number one place for buying and selling within this niche. I look forward to working with Paul again in the future."

"I found Paul's company while searching for the value of my SS dagger. Paul was very pleasant to deal with. He gave me his value and walked me through the process should I decide to sell. It was simple to send and Paul informed me immediately when he received the dagger. He sent the payment immediately.
I would not hesitate to use his company to buy or sale and highly recommend his services.
