Antiques
Dealing with valuable antiques
requires special care and attention to detail. We always thoroughly
research an item's provenance, so that our eBay listing cites
all key selling points. We begin by a thorough historical research
effort of your vintage item, so that your eBay ad will have an
accurate and complete historical account of the significance of
the item. An item's age, rarity, aesthetic quality, function,
condition, and other factors help determine how desirable an item
will be.
We often consult with expert appraisers,
jewelers, top craftsmen, premier auction houses, and A.A.D.A.-member
antique dealers. The more that is known about your item, the higher
the final selling price. Specialists may also be called upon if
an item has a particularly obscure marking or signature.
Then, with the addition of clear,
professional close-up macro photography (and possible MPEG movies
as well, showing detail from many angles), potential buyers and
bidders will have an abundance of both visual and textual information.
And as with all items that we accept, your antique items will
be listed on our high-traffic website off-eBay, in the event that
they do not sell on eBay. There are no additional fees for this
service, and the item will remain listed until sold. (Please

Valuable antiques are a hot-selling
item, both on eBay and at other online sites. With the growing
popularity of the PBS hit, "Antiques Road Show", North
American interest in antiques is at an all-time high. Listing
you antique items on eBay is an intelligent decision; likely the
easiest (and most cost-effective) means of quickly finding a buyer,
and obtaining a high selling price as well. Please see out collectibles
