<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Joe2007, post: 142775, member: 1262&quot;]I&#039;m not an eBayer but I do often lurk on the site trying to learn about items and pricing trends. Over the years I&#039;ve noticed some items sell really well on eBay while others bring lower than what I&#039;d expect compared to other venues such as flea markets, antique shops, auctions, and other online dealer sites.</p><p><br /></p><p>Generally rarer, higher end antiques/collectables seem to do really well on eBay when they are properly identified while cheaper more common antiques/collectables seem to not fare that well compared to other venues. For the better items there is no competing listings to drive down the prices while on more common items there may be dozens of listings for the same exact item.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are also some categories that seem to have more or less demand for items on eBay. There is a huge following for collector coins &amp; bullion on eBay and the site has become one of the automatic places for internet savvy coin collectors to buy and sell. Other collectable categories have not seemingly built up this type of fanatical following on eBay.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are the categories that I feel competent to comment on in my experience. Please add how you feel about certain categories of antiques and collectables in the comments.</p><p><br /></p><p>Collectables Categories: Undervalued or Overvalued</p><p><br /></p><p>Undervalued on eBay:</p><p>Art Pottery (Rookwood, Roseville, Hull, Weller)</p><p>Political Pins</p><p>Stoneware &amp; Crocks</p><p><br /></p><p>Overvalued on eBay:</p><p>Coins &amp; Bullion</p><p>Art Pottery (McCoy)</p><p>Vintage Toys</p><p><br /></p><p>Your thoughts?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
