Online Price guides for collectibles/antiques?
Q. Where can i get free price guides and information on vintage glass and kitchenware online? I've visited Kovels.com but they don't have any pictures! I've been finding vintage kitchenware for really cheap lately, but I don't know what any of it is worth.

A. You know what I use - eBay. You can get a real feel of what people are willing to pay on eBay. There you have real people buying real things at prices they are willing to pay and that is what denotes real value - not a book.

A. That's a service that is valuable. You can take them to an appraiser or an auction house to get the value. Or, you can do the research yourself. Type each item into a search engine and loook at other sites where the same thing is for sale. Use the Ebay "completed items" function on the left hand side of the page. Jars, bottles and books are cool, but they're not rare so they don't bring in much money. .

Q. I've been collecting for years and over time I've collected a wide variety of antiques from books to ceramics even jewelery, I really need to sell some of it since some hard times have hit home. I would like to know how to find buyers that will be fair with the prices. I'm not looking to get rich but I'm also not willing to let the stuff go for pennies. I've heard mixed feelings about ebay and would rather not go threw all that. Any suggestions or interests please contact me jonikins2000@yahoo.com thanks 4 your time
