Antiques and Collectibles

Molly asked:


I have small antiques (children’s spoons) and I have large antiques (dining table/4 chairs). I have NO idea how to find the value, nor do I know how to unload them. I know eBay is an option for the small things, but what about the large pieces? I need help! Thanks.

So my new part time occupation is to source expensive books which are underpriced and then to list them on eBay and other main selling sites for their market price. Currently I’m focused on looking for first editions but wouldn’t be better to sell books which has a value due to it’s content rather than status of being first edition? The problem with collectable books is that people sometimes cannot determine the condition of books just by looking on few pictures and description and therefore driving down the prices online. However the condition is not that important when looking for rare educational books therefore online selling would be more appropiate for them. Yet, in my experience, it is hard to source first editions for cheap price as sellers already know the value of first edition or it won’t be stated that book is first edition and end up unsold. Any remarks from people which operating in this business?
PS. I mainly want to source books online and sell them online.

I’m trying to find the 1995 editions of Northern Lights/Subtle Knife/Amber Spyglass in good condition, but it either doesn’t exist on Ebay or is simply extremely overpriced when it is. Help, anyone?

The term “book price” intimidates potential buyers, so why are there so many price guides published? I’ve noticed on Ebay that things like glassware, pottery and other “collectibles” usually sell for 10 to 50% of the current book prices.

I received boxes and boxes of silverware and silver tableware from a family member who passed away. I don’t need or want most of it and would like to sell it. Any suggestions on how to sell it. I am not interested in EBay. I don’t have a lot of time to invest In this either.

In addition, I received some amazing antiques. They are beautiful but some are too large for my home or taste. I would also be interested in selling these but don’t have a clue the route to take to accomplish that.

Should I sell to a dealer or try Ebay? I have linens, castiron cookware and wood crates.

We have a lot of antiques and NOTHING to do with them. We don’t know what their worth, we tried ebay, and we don’t want to just sell them at really cheap, random prices because we already got ripped off on some items. Please help.
