So many choices! We have the good fortune to get to pick 20 items from some hot collecting categories this month to sell on eBay auctions, and the results are in...how have they done, and what does it tell us about where the antique and vintage market is today?
Lesson #1 is that it's not always about being pretty! Gargoylish figures, monstrous critters and mythical beasts are hot with today's collectors, whether it's a Lladro centaur boy, a strange looking pickle jar or a Hagen-Renaker Little Horrible figure. We talk about the high number of bids and final values these are getting, and why they have such appeal in the market today.
Lesson #2 is that there's still lots of interest in stylish things, even in categories some people avoid because they're "not hot"! That's why we see Faberge eggs, Roseville Moss and Pacific Pottery bowls selling well, with new collectors discovering them at today's more affordable prices. So does it pay to be "on trend", or should you look for things that other people are ignoring?
The jury is still out on trending versus non trending items, but one thing for sure is Lesson #3...you can't sell it if it isn't real! We talk about one fake that caught us, our timing was right but the "trending" item was not real and not allowable. Our loss is your gain as we talk about the tell we missed that should've kept us from buying it in the first place!
We are always glad to share this knowledge so collectors and resellers alike can understand more and have a better experience in their own online shopping and selling. Thanks so much to our members for their contributions that make these deeper dives and market follow ups possible!
