From paperweights to political memorabilia
With popular TV shows like ABC TV’s Collectors and BBC’s Antiques Roadshow, collectors and treasure
hunters are on a crusade to price everything from paperweights to political memorabilia. And, since one
person’s trash is another’s treasure, it’s often difficult to put a fair and equitable price on antiques and
collectibles. What is it worth? Or, more importantly, what will someone pay for it? Price It! Antiques &
Collectibles – powered by GoAntiques.com – is the most comprehensive, subscription-based database for
pricing antiques and collectibles. Users can search and sort using a number of criteria, such as category type,
sale date range (if applicable) and data source. Price It! Antiques & Collectibles offers more than 23 million
prices, combined with more than 10 million images. Plus, 2 million records are added monthly, so the records
are always up-to-date and current. No other online pricing tool offers as many records as Price It! Antiques
& Collectibles. Whether your library patron is a professional art appraiser or a budding collector, Price It!
Antiques & Collectibles is the ultimate online resource for pricing antiques and collectibles.
Database
Fast and accurate pricing
Sales information from some of the sources dates back to 1998, giving your library patrons a comprehensive
view of the marketplace. Additionally, results lists include the average price, number of items, price range,
sales channel and source. Images returned with results help your patrons see the condition of the items they’re
researching, which leads to more accurate pricing. You can even discover the item’s maker or the artist who
created the work. So whether library patrons are serious collectors, antiques dealers or just trying to determine
the value of something found in the attic, Price It! Antiques & Collectibles can save them valuable time and
money with a fast and accurate value determination.
Meeting every collector’s needs
Price It! Antiques & Collectibles appeals to a wide range of your library patrons as it offers not just high-end
antiques but popular collectibles too with categories such as Autographs, Bottles, Desk Accessories, Dolls,
Drawings and Figurines. Unlike other online databases that draw from few sources, Price It! Antiques &
Collectibles offers historical price data (plus images when available) gathered from three reputable sources –
online auctions (eBay®, GoAntiques™), online retail (GoAntiques™ and TIAS), and dozens of land-based
auctions, including those from Australia and New Zealand.
