About the Sale
Welcome to our 61st Auction of Interesting and Unusual Collectibles that we curate prior to listing. Our Auctions are short and start promptly so if you want to bid, log on early and be ready because ...view moreonce the bidding clock starts, the auction ends QUICKLY! Our opening bids are higher because are items are worth at a minimum, the opening bid. We usually price our opening bids at 10 to 20% of the found comparable item values. What this means is that if the item is valued at $100 to $200 and it is good condition, the opening bid will be either $10 or $20. Items below that value usually open between $2.00 and $5.00. Our items will include Stamps, Militaria, Autographs, Art, Porcelain, Jewelry, Coins, and YES!!! BOOKS!!!! We search New England for the best, easy to ship and affordable items that we list in our auctions. Our consignors and the items we find as well are estimated based on our market experience with antiques and collectibles and our extensive database of sold items. Our price estimates are usually lower than similar items found in antique stores or online shops. We usually start all high priced items at 15% to 25% of the estimated value, so do your homework when bidding on these items! Items that start at the minimum of $2.00 to $5.00 usually have a fair market value of $25 to $50 or more. Overstock inventory that has seen more than one auction is reduced in starting price to the base of $5.00, no matter what its fair market value may be.
