Some information on how to help us appraise your item

  • How well known is the artist/manufacturer?
  • Is the item part of a collection?
  • Does it require anything else to be used
  • Whether the item has a maker's mark or comes with a
    Certificate of Authenticity (COA)
  • When was the item made?
  • What material it's made of ?
  • The condition of the item (Has it been used? Is it clean and free from chips, cracks, or other forms of damage?
  • Have any colors faded?

Antiques:
The term "antique" covers a broad range of items with one thing in common: age. Nearly anything can be an antique if it's old enough, from fine furniture and fancy jewelry to primitive tools and handmade cookware. There's no standard for how old an item must be in order to be considered antique, but in general items made in the 1940s or earlier qualify.

Media ( CDs, DVDs, VHS Tapes, Vinyl Records, etc.):
eBay is a huge marketplace for all media. Unfortunately many of these items are going to be appraised under $50. If you know you have a rare piece of media, we will happily put it up on eBay for you as long as it appraises for over $50. Selling a Lot or collection of media is usually worth your while, other than selling them individually. For instance we once sold a collection of Hogan's Heroes episodes on VHS for $285. If you are not sure if it is worth your while, than call us and we will tell you if we can do it.

Musical Instruments:
Just about everything and all sells on eBay, including Musical instruments. A wide range of musical instruments and related audio equipment like amplifiers, brass, microphones, woodwinds, drums, mixing boards, etc., will sell on eBay.

The main factors that determine a musical instruments value are determined by the following:

  • The Age?
  • The condition?
  • How rare it is?
  • Who is the manufacturer?
  • In Tune?

  • Whether it comes with a Certificate of Authenticity (in the case of a valuable collectible, like a signed baseball or team jersey)
  • How much it will cost to ship (very large or oddly shaped items, like skis, may require a special shipping arrangement and sometimes this may actually lower the appraisal value because an old pair of skis may cost more to ship than the skis actually sold for.
