What online auction site is preferred by sellers of antiques & collectibles, and why? I've used eBay in the past for selling collectibles, but it seems that it's more than just the economy keeping buyers and sellers away. Did the fees get too greedy?

So....I was just wondering if there was another auction site to which the antique dealers have flocked.

Would anyone else enjoy a category for Antiques/Collectibles? Most such questions are posted under Society and Culture, but I would love to see them in a category of their own.

Hint--hint. Y!A staff notices questions with stars..

How do I sell antiques collection? I inherited a large theatrical collection dating from 1850 which the V&A museum says is of inestimable value. I found museums in the UK & USA who are interested but I don't know how to market the collection or how to converse with these types of people.Auction dealers get toffee-nosed & only want to auction the Will-Look-Good-In-Our-Auction-Brochure Oil Painting, ignoring the collection as a whole. I have already been advised not to separate the collection. There are some items there which are famous. All I have to work with in my search is the internet - but the antiques & collectibles sites only deal with Beanies or thimbles or comic books, and so on. I have not found a really serious site where really serious people look for the stuff of museum collections. Before anyone gives the answer - the library is of no help whatsoever. Has anyone got a clue?

Is the antiques and collectibles market much worse than it was 30 years ago? I'm trying to liquidate my parent's estate. They had a Victorian house filled with all kind of antiques and collectibles - Depression and pressed glass, framed artwork, period furniture, etc. I don't want to use EBAY, a lot of the items are too fragile, too large, or too heavy to ship plus the hassle of packaging and shipping. I tried to contact estate liquidators and auctioneers, but nobody is interested unless the items are Sotheby's quality, and who has that laying around? Last autumn I put some stuff out for a yard sale and hardly anyone stopped. One dealer told me I could ask market value for the stuff and keep it or let it go for 10 cents on the dollar and sell it - it would depend on what was more important to me. Now I don't know if he was being honest or trying to scare me into giving him a good deal. I know what my parents paid for that stuff 30-35 years ago, and I'm not going to give it away, but I'd like to clean out the house for possible sale. Any ideas? Thanks. Not close at all. It wouldn't be worth the trip to you, I can tell you that much. I prefer to sell locally anyway. that why I don't use EBAY.
Where can I get free appraisals for antiques and other collectibles? I have inherited a house full of various antiques and probably more items that aren't true antiques, but more vintage and collectibles like Depression glass. I have joined several antique and collectible online message boards. At first I was getting feedback, but after a while, the other members stop responding to my posts, although I don't know the reason for that. I have hundreds of items I want evaluated as to age and value. Does anyone know of a Web site that does this, especially important is that it be a FREE service and the members won't get tired of my continuous postings?

Where can I get help finding out what my antiques are and what they are worth? I have a horde of antiques and collectibles that I've researched and still know nothing. I mean online sites.

If things are so bad you liberals, then why I am thriving on ebay selling antiques and collectibles? I am not talking about credit card sales here.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but the folks that are buying from me are from all walks of life, not just the rich! You people are so sad. You don't have any real answers, do ya? And for "sargeloda", these are not my family heirlooms. They are items I buy at yard sales and auctions, you ignoramus!
I have some antiques & collectibles, what is the best way to get a good price for them? I stopped into a store last August when it had become obvious the economy was in trouble. The store owner said no one was buying anything. This is in a conservative area though. I notice it has dried up in this area while other areas are booming....so I hope that is why that owner was so gloomy & it is not the case everywhere....I have an antique clock...chair,...some matchbox cars...old records, etc...Now I thought about getting a kid I know to put them on ebay...I thought I could pay the packaging costs & split it all with him. Is that the best way? What is the best way?

Please tell me what you know about this kind of experience cause it is new to me & I want to know what to expect....then how do I know they are offering me a good price? or should I have about 3 people come out? ...any advice is greatly appreciated.
When is Yahoo Answers going to get an "Antiques and Collectibles" section? People have been asking for this for years. These kinds of questions get asked all over the place it would be so nice to have them in one section where people who are knowledgable about antiques can congregate to answer. It's been posted on the discussion board before and it never gets added. There are so many sections that are less useful than this section would be (like alternative science lol).

Would anyone buy my collectibles/antiques? The main problem is that I can't afford appraisals or to get things authenticated right now. Unless there is something cheaper that I don't know about. I have a bag of old signed baseballs that is not authenticated but I looked into what they would be worth and a couple of them could be worth possibly $500-700 but I can't read all the signatures. I have an absurd amount of baseball cards. I got a couple of old fencing swords from World War 1 but they are a bit rusty. I got some Japanese paintings that the guy giving them to me told me the artist was an upcoming artist from Japan and he thought they'd be worth something but he didn't have space for them but I can't figure out the signature. I also have signed photos of 1920's celebrities but I can't tell if they are authentic signatures unlike the baseballs which are clearly old signatures. Most of the stuff was given to me from either family or customers at my old junk job that would have me come over after work to take it.
