3) Is values4antiques.com easy to use?

  • Simply enter the name of the item you wish to research to see actual images of all related auction results.  Examples may include antique sideboard or Tiffany silver or Limoges plate or silver purse or netsuke or Dresden figurine etc etc
  • Values4Antiques.com uses an advanced and proprietary program that sorts through over a million Auction records to find prices for Antiques and Collectibles using common human-like language. All terms in an item's description are internally compared with similar words used by professionals, so you will never have to worry if you are using the proper name for any item
  • Since all antique auction results are displayed with actual photos, it helps you recognize similar items quickly and accurately
  • Our Results page shows only auction records of items that have actually sold at a real auction. This ensures an objective appraisal of the worth of your antiques & collectibles, not just some seller's wishful or biased sales price
  • You can select and compare as many matching auction results as you like and can view them separately on another page with more details, including the prices they achieved, full descriptions and when & where sold
  • You can print results, including photographs, for your records or to include as comparables with an Appraisal. THESE ARE ACTUAL & GENUINE AUCTION RECORDS AND CAN BE USED IN A FORMAL APPRAISAL
  • In order to be relevant and timely, all auction prices are from within the last 5 years only and we keep adding more results constantly

4) What kind of Auction records are included in the database?

Only records from actual "live" and official Auctions are included in our database. These Auctions sell their items to a live audience with real and supervised bidding. No eBay auction records are included. All items shown have actually sold at the prices shown and no "Passed" or "No Sale" lots are included. Most sales records are from auctions within the USA or UK.

5) Why is Values4Antiques.com better than Price Guide books or Auction Houses' own websites?

There are several Antiques Price Guide books and auction websites with prices or values. However, these books or websites contain only very few examples of each type of item. In contrast, our database includes more than a million ACTUAL & RELEVANT sales results in ALL categories of antiques & collectibles. Additionally, our special page layout makes it fast and easy to instantly compare and appraise your items accurately  -  see examples.
