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?
- Has
it been serviced by a professional
- Is
it used, new, factory sealed?
- Does
it have a serial number intact? (any item
with a defaced or missing serial number will
not be accepted for auction)
- Cleanliness,
anything brought to Jenmar Auctions is expected
to be clean, like clothes, sporting goods,
and any thing that isn't an antique. Certain
things like coins or other antiques should
never be cleaned though, as cleaning them
can actually lower their value.

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.
Piano's however do not sell well do to the large
size and cost of shipping that can exceed the
piano's value itself. 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?

Sporting
Equipment & Memorabilia:
Many people look to eBay to buy new and used
sports equipment, as well as sports memorabilia.
Factors that can affect the value of your item
include:
- The
age and condition
- 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.

Finally:
This Guide Should give you an idea of the types
of things that sell on eBay. There are many
other things out there that aren't spoken of
in here. That doesn't mean they are not worth
anything though. If you have anything, and you
think may have value, then don't hesitate to
call us up and ask us if we can appraise it
for you. Remember the old saying: "One
man's trash is another man's treasure",
and you never know, you could be sitting on
a gold mine.
