Where to sell pieces of china?

[Guest]

Many local communities have a yahoo group for freecycle as well as one

for selling items. List it first in as many free avenues as possible-

cheapcycle (also called swap shop, or buy & sell), craigs list, even

your local newspaper (though that will cost a bit).

If those don’t work, then explore eBay. One great thinga bout eBay is

that people can connect with people around the world to sell any thing

you can imagine.

The bad thing about ebay is that an item that once might have been

worth quite a bit is now worth a LOT less. This has effected not just

ebay auction sales, but retail sales, antique sales, collectible sales

all around the world, both online and offline.

The basic premis behind collectible items is that they are only worth

what someone is willing to pay. 10 years ago, if someone sold a really

nice vase that people wanted, and couldn’t locate, the person who wants

it would pay a premium for it.

Now, people log into ebay, and within moments, usually can find exactly

what they want, from several sellers. The premium just isn’t there

anymore.

Collectible items just are not worth what they were before because of

it.

In other words, you probably won’t get what you want from the peices

because of eBay’s long arm.
