Antique Actions on EBay, Yahoo

By Walter Scheu

I am going to concede the fact that everyone knows how to get online and sell Antique at Auctions on EBay, Yahoo. Since I cannot imbed links to the auction site you will have to get to the site on your own.

Antique (Latin: antiquus; old) is a collectible item which is old (usually at least 100 years old) and is collected or desirable because of its age, rarity, condition, utility, or other unique features. It is an object which has reached an age which makes it a witness of a previous era in human society. Antiques are usually objects which show some degree of craftsmanship, or a certain attention to design such as a desk or the early automobile. In a consumer society, an antique is above all an object whose atypical construction and age give it a market value superior to similar objects of recent manufacture. Any historical museum makes a considerable use of antiques in order to illustrate historical events and give them a practical context. Just about any object can become an antique if it survives long enough, but value of an antique in the market place is determined by its appeal and social acceptance

Antique trade associations are formed and operate for the purpose of promoting the standards of honesty, quality, and good public relations and to promote improved relations among members and the general public. Shops carry 75% antiques or old collectible merchandise.

Antique traders have learned that the power of buying and selling at auction is really very simple. When the bidding stops and the hammer fall, the value of an item is set. The buyer, not the seller, sets the price. This simple distinction cuts through all the chitchat about what art, antiques and collectibles are really worth.

There are auctions of exceptionally strong antique sales featuring estates from all over the USA and virtually every country on this planet, with emphasis on Period furniture; Fine Art; Antique Toys; Country Store & Advertising; Rare Books; Weapons; Americana; Garden & Architectural; antique jewelry; Nautical; Weathervanes & other Folk Art & much, more. All of which can be sold at eBay, online, or other places. My suggestion would be to go online and do a search for �antique auctions� and go from there.

To assess if a fair price is being asked, compare the price to that quoted by online auction guides for similar antiques that have recently been auctioned. These guides are usually helpful tools to estimate the value of an antique for both buyers and sellers. Sites should also offer a full refund if you end up with a reproduction instead of the real thing. Some sites only offer refunds for a limited period, but this should give you enough time to have the item appraised. As an alternative, paying a little extra to have an antique appraised before purchasing it online is well worth the cost and the knowledge that what you are buying is genuine.

Walter Scheu Th.D. Writes reviews for and about products, services, etc., that may be seen on the internet. He and his bride run a small family farm in North Carolina. On the farm they also run an Import and Export business, and sell online. This article is about a product we know to be a good one selling antiques online at auctions, is a good idea. Hopefully you have found this article intersting and desire more information. PLease be so kind as to follow this link: http://www.importingforauctions.com
