<p>[QUOTE=&quot;808 raver, post: 242053, member: 4654&quot;]What an interesting topic, ebay seems to be under attack but in my opinion ebay has made collecting and selling much better, of course there will be winners and losers but some of the items that were bought before ebay will have been bought for very little money and will now sell on ebay for loads. Ebay sets the price for many things unless the seller wants to take the chance of putting an item on for a low start price. You can almost gauge the price an item will sell to within a few pounds on Ebay as long as it&#039;s described, photographed, and listed correctly. I started collecting after ebay started and 95% of the things I have come from ebay, I still take pride in going into antique shops and buying something that will sell for many times what I paid when I relist it on Ebay but on a whole antique shops are over priced compared to Ebay and even online auction houses (once high commissions are paid) are over priced. Clearly the overheads of shops and auction houses make their business untenable. It&#039;s always been a game of knowledge, I once thought I knew a bit about the game but reading the threads in here I realise I have a very long way to go.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
