How do I find the value of antiques?
To determine value, look for anything that keeps your antique from being considered “like new” or “mint” condition. Flaws that devalue an item can include chips, cracks, excessive wear, tears, stains, and missing components.

What are typical auction fees?
In general, you’ll pay a sales commission equal to 20 to 50 percent of the sale price. If your sale totals less than $300, you’re more likely to pay that 50 percent; more expensive items are charged lower commissions. But fees are negotiable and often depend on how much an auctioneer wants to sell your goods.
How do you know if something is collectible?
Visit an online database. Look for online databases that offer pricing information for your item. Use your preferred search engine, type in your item, and then include the word database. For instance, if you search “antiques database” there are many results that list prices of collectibles.
How do you find out what collectables are worth?
There are many different methods collectors use to find the value of their collectibles including:
- Auction selling prices.
- Online price guides.
- Written price guides.
- Appraisal services on and off line.
- Local antique and collectible dealers.
