<a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/5BxoJ3ffn_WqtP3sjT7jMZOaPLo/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/5BxoJ3ffn_WqtP3sjT7jMZOaPLo/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><p><img src="http://www.vintageantiquecollectible.com/collector/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/oldbooks.jpg" alt="oldbooks" title="oldbooks" width="180" height="240" class="left" /><strong>There are many different people in the world that decide to collect books, and surprisingly enough, they decide to collect books for a whole host of different reasons that are just about as diverse as the books themselves.</strong> Classic works from the greats like Homer, Shakespeare, Dante and Dickens can jump right out of the pages, stamping themselves on the minds of those reading and collecting them. The reason why so many people decide to collect books is because great books are capable of inspiring everyday readers as well as people that are dedicated to bookbinding, book production and other parts of creating the books that we love to read so much.</p>
<p><strong>Many editions of our favorite classics have seen publishing ever since the invention of the printing press, which occurred more than 500 years ago. </strong>These books were held in such high regard that you can tell from the quality of the bindings and covers how important these books used to be, as well as the illustrations that are used to adorn as well as illuminate each of the pages of text. To own a fine quality leather bound classic novel that is artfully illustrated with engravings or woodcuts is a pleasure of the senses and the mind all at once.</p>
<p><strong>These are just some of the reasons for why people like to collect books, and this includes all types of books including fine books and rare books.</strong> There are novice collectors that sometimes find themselves asking what types of works are actually worth spending their hard earned money on &#8211; And so this basic principle for collecting should be considered: Simply attempt to collect books that are fine and rare and that are by authors that you have once read or intend to read at some point, as long as there is world enough as well as time enough. Your collection, thusly, will reflect your interests and your tastes, and this is what you should be striving to achieve when you collect books. </p>
<p><strong>Some people that collect books decide to organize the books that they collect following a specific well known illustrator. </strong>Other people that collect books decide to collect solely on the materials or the craftsmanship of the book itself and its binding, such as calf skin books, morocco books, vellum books. In all of these cases however, it is especially important that you collect books that personally interest you and excite you, because your book collection should be a product of your own interests and your own desires and not based on perceived value of books to other people. </p>
<p><strong>When you decide to collect books, know that the sky is the limit in terms of what you can collect and how you can form your collection.</strong> Do not let anything limit your collection but your own capabilities, interests and imagination.</p>

Any room that you like can be decorated using home décor antiques and collectibles past, present and future.</p>

<p><a href="http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o176/kc410877/Guru/VictorianPerfume.gif"><img class="left" title="Perfume Bottles" src="http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o176/kc410877/Guru/VictorianPerfume.gif" alt="Perfume Bottles" width="220" height="220" /></a></p>
<p>Perfume bottles are a highly collectible item, not just because of their uniqueness and beauty, but because they’re easy to store and display. They’re small, smaller than many other types of collectible items, so even those with limited space can enjoy collecting at least a few of their favorites. They can also be quite valuable ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars, depending on the manufacturer and the design. Collecting them is such a popular hobby there are even organizations dedicated to the hobby and a number of books written about collecting different types of bottles.</p>
<p>Most people collect perfume bottles, not necessarily because of the value but because they find them beautiful. As long as there have been perfumed oils and fragrances for the body, there have had to be containers to hold them. While an ancient perfume container is a truly rare find, vintage perfume bottles produced over the last hundred years or so are easy to find in places like online auctions.</p>
<p>Perfume bottles from the 16th and 17th century will probably be Venetian and Murano glass, and can be valuable because they’re handmade, one-of-a-kind. Nineteenth-century bottles might be made from porcelain. Bottles made in the 20th century both benefited and suffered from mass-production. Now the bottles were uniform and exactly alike, allowing a perfumery to duplicate a bottle an infinite number of times, as well as produce more product more quickly for sale. But with that came the decline of hand-made, unique bottles.</p>
<p>One of the most famous perfume bottles created during the mid-20th century is the Lalique L’air du Temps, one any collector shouldn’t be without unless you choose to specialize in a certain type of bottle. This bottle features one or more frosted doves on top of the bottle. Empty bottles from the 1940s can go for anywhere from $50 and up at auction.</p>
<p>Other perfume bottles from these early years of mass production can be worth as much, or more. If you’re interested in the bottles solely for their investment value, it would pay to read some books about collecting them and how to judge the price of the items. Always look for bottles in the original box with any tags or charms still intact.</p>
<p>If you want to collect them mostly for the aesthetics, then it’s just a matter of deciding what you like. There are so many different types of perfume bottles that one could never hope to collect even a small portion of them, so it’s necessary to decide a direction, or decide just to collect a smattering of different styles.</p>
<p>You might choose to collect perfume bottles that held a certain perfume, or fragrances by a specific company. Lalique is a great example of a company that put out many beautiful bottles in different designs for its different scents. You might choose bottles that feature something specific, like flowers. Marc Jacobs’ Daisy has a beautiful flower-topped bottle. Or you might choose bottles from specific countries, or those produced during certain years.</p>

What makes collectibles so interesting is that there is something out there for everyone, every taste, every personality, and <a href="http://www.vintageantiquecollectible.com/collectables/">car collectibles</a> are absolutely no exception to this rule. The neat thing about car collectibles, even, is because there are so many different types of cars, there is bound to be a collectible to suit every taste and style.</p>
<p>For most car owners, cars are simply an appliance, or a method of getting to one place from another. They are built to suit a specific need, so the concept of car collectibles sort of goes over their head. This is because they only use their vehicles until they are no longer useful, and then once they have been deemed unfit for any further use, they replace them. </p>
<p>Just as the type of clothing that we wear is capable of defining how we look to other people, the type of vehicle that we drive is often capable of defining who we are to other drivers on the road. While some people would rather walk than be caught in something uncool like a hatchback or a minivan, other people are capable of truly treasuring those vehicles because they have value in hauling provisions or hauling around people. For the most part, car collectibles are capable of long outliving their usefulness in terms of lifespan even if they may have served a practical purpose sometime earlier in their lives.</p>
<p>The history of the automobile spans just over one hundred years, and usage rates and ownership rates are growing significantly all over the world, especially in the United States. Nearly everyone owns a car or is going to own a car sometime in the future, and every one of these cars is capable of being perceived as part of the car collectibles culture. </p>
<p>When it comes to car collectibles, as a general rule of thumb, first time car collectors are looking for automobiles that they were incapable of collecting earlier in their lives because they could not afford them. For baby boomers for example, this concept may translate into a yearning for a 1966 Mustang or a 1972 Corvette.  Older collectors may be looking for older cars, and younger collectors may be looking for a mixed bag of different car collectibles depending on what their interests are. No matter what your interests are when it comes to car collectibles, one fact does remain, and that is that there are plenty of unique car collectibles to choose from, and the sky is the limit when it comes to building up your own unique car collection.</p>

<p><img class="left" src="http://www.vintageantiquecollectible.com/collector/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/avoncollectible.jpg" alt="Avon Collectibles" width="220" height="266"/>The Avon Company has been a respected institution in the United States since 1886, and their line of decorative collectibles contain some of the most sought after pieces on record. The company first began producing Avon collectibles in the mid-1960’s and they were instantly a hit. The vast majority of Avon collectibles are containers that once held products, although you can now find plush and other forms that are all valuable.</p>
<p>If you come across an Avon collectible, there are a few ways to make sure that you are dealing with the real thing. First, the piece should have Avon’s mark on the bottom, and may also contain the date that the piece was made. Ideally, if it was intended to hold a product, this should all be there, but finding one of these pieces is rare indeed. If there is no longer product in the Avon collectible, it should be completely clean.</p>
<p>Most Avon collectibles came with a certificate of authenticity. The pieces that still have their original certificates are considered to be the most valuable, so start your search for these pieces first. While there are a few rare models on the market that do not have certificates, generally it is best to find one that does still have this authentication.</p>
<p>For the most part, Avon collectibles are priced in a range that allows most people the chance to get a few pieces. There are a few very rare pieces that will sell in the thousands, but generally, they will be priced anywhere from $50 to $500. The older pieces from the 1960’s will generally fetch more money than newer items, and there is always sentimental value to consider as well.</p>
<p>One of the best places to find rare Avon collectibles is online or at your local flea market. Keep an eye out for these brightly colored figurines, since you never know when you may come across a great value. Always make sure to inspect your piece thoroughly however before you buy it. A single crack can greatly diminish the overall value of a piece.</p>
<p>If you are dealing with an online seller of Avon collectibles, make sure that they include pictures from every angle so that you have a better idea of the overall condition. The pictures should be close enough so that you can see any surface imperfections. If they are not, you may want to ask the seller to provide better photographs so that you know exactly what you are buying.</p>
<p>Avon collectibles are a great way to introduce children into the world of collecting. Their bright colors, fanciful designs and overall lower price make them an ideal starter collection for just about anyone. Whether you are looking for a specific piece that you remember from childhood, or you are completely new to Avon collectibles, this is a fun collection that you can share with the entire family. Consider starting your own collection of Avon collectibles today and see how many great pieces you can find.</p>

<p>Bratz Dolls, produced by MGA Entertainment, are similar to Barbie Dolls in that kids (and adults) love them and love to collect them.  But there’s no mistaking a Bratz Doll for a Barbie Doll, not even at a glance. Bratz Dolls are shorter at only 10 inches compared to Barbie’s height of 11.5 inches.  Though they’re shorter, they’re chunkier dolls than Barbies, because the dolls features and proportions are slightly larger.  They’re further distinguishable from Barbies because they’ve actually replaced her as the top seller in some parts of the world. </p>
<p>Bratz Dolls are relatively new.  Cloe, Yasmin, Sasha and Jade, the original dolls, appeared in 2001 and quickly took the doll world by storm. They’re now available in almost 70 countries.  And the Bratz line has grown to include new dolls that are friends of the original spunky four, mini-dolls, games, video games, movies, spin-off doll lines, music, a television series, and dozens of other kids’ products from bikes to bedding. </p>
<p>Bratz Dolls are unique, not just because of their sassy appearance, but because the heads are made from hard vinyl, and the feet come off completely.  These dolls have predominant feet to show off the stylin’ shoes the girls wear.  When it’s time to change to a new, cool pair of shoes, there’s no need to wrestle small shoes onto their feet, the entire foot/shoe combo comes off at the doll’s ankle allowing for quick accessory changes. </p>
<p>Something else that sets Bratz Dolls apart is the makeup the dolls wear, and the focus on appearance and fashion. Some say they flaunt the bad qualities of materialism and narcissism. Some of the clothes have caused a stir, too. Skimpy outfits and outfits that look straight from the pages of Vogue have bothered some parents who feel that they don’t represent good values and that they put even more pressure on girls to look and act a certain way. </p>
<p>But Bratz Dolls have won several industry awards like Toy of the Year and Character Brand License of the Year, in addition to awards given by other organizations like Disney’s Family Fun and the Toy Industry Association. They also represent different ethnicities, instead of just offering blonde, blue-eyed dolls, which is one major point of appeal for kids and adults alike.  They come with cool accessories that kids love, and girls tend to collect and play with the dolls longer than they do Barbies, so they have pre-teen and early teen appeal.  Long after many girls stop playing with dolls, they still love these fashionable dolls.  </p>
<p>When collecting Bratz Dolls, online auctions are probably the best place to find them.  Because they’ve only been manufactured since 2001 you’ll want to purchase dolls that are in the original condition, with no wear, repairs or restoration.  At the very least, any changes need to be detailed by the seller, as they drop the value.  It’s also important to make sure the original packaging is intact and the doll is in the original outfit. </p>

<p><a href="http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o176/kc410877/Guru/KatsushikaHokusaithegreatwaveatkana.jpg%20"><img class="left" title="Japanese Art" src="http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o176/kc410877/Guru/KatsushikaHokusaithegreatwaveatkana.jpg%20" alt="Japanese Art" width="220" height="220" /></a></p>
<p>Japanese art is a type of art that has a very distinctive look.  If a painting, a vase, a sculpture or some other type of art is Japanese, particularly if it’s antique art, it usually only takes a quick look for you to recognize the art’s origin. Just as every culture has its own specific properties, the artwork of Japan will always have certain traits in common, no matter what kind of media the artist used to express himself. </p>
<p>Some of the most popular pieces of antique Japanese art are, of course, the paintings.  Scroll paintings are distinctively Asian, and come in many sizes and levels of detail. Authentic scroll paintings only dating back as far as the early 20th century cost as little as $200, but some Zen scroll paintings from that period that bear the artists name as well as the temple, and are in excellent condition, can be worth as much as a few thousand dollars.</p>
<p>Another popular type of antique Japanese art is porcelain.  Early 20th century porcelain pieces are generally going to cost at least a few hundred dollars, provided they’re in good condition. Vases from the 19th century will generally cost at least that much, if not more.  Japanese carvings like those on top of wooden treasure boxes can be worth thousands of dollars.  Most likely, though, the exact year of manufacture isn’t known, and they’re more reasonably prices.</p>
<p>Japanese art is full of renderings of Buddha, so many antique pieces feature him in paintings, carvings, or stand-alone statues.  These can be valuable, particularly if they’re carved of ivory or stone, and are more than 100 years old. Japanese decorative bronze work is a popular type of antique, too, as they often added detailed embellishments to things like bronze vases or chests.<br />
Most Japanese artwork is easily recognized because of the brush strokes and the subject matter.  Landscapes are popular, often featuring cherry blossoms and lots of trees.  Wildlife is a popular subject in Japanese art, with cranes being a popular bird. And let’s not forget dragons.  Dragons have an important place in Japanese mythology and culture, and are often depicted looking like serpents.  Unlike the negative view much of the world holds against serpents, the Japanese thought serpents and dragons to be good luck, and very valuable.  </p>
<p>When you’re shopping for antique Japanese art, if a piece you love is out of your price range, you can usually find reproductions of most anything for a more reasonable price.  Nothing beats the authentic piece, though, so make sure that the seller is knowledgeable about the piece and Japanese art in general.  Unfortunately with many pieces of art, especially paintings, the only way to determine if you’re getting a fair price is to have the item appraised.  You might want a piece for its beauty, but be prepared to have it appraised eventually. Many sellers don’t even know the true value of the pieces they have up for auction, so look for similar items online and compare the prices.</p>

<p>Ebay can be a great marketing tool, but an ebay collectibles business will fail if you don&#8217;t constantly find more items.</p>
<p>The best advice is to get sellers to call you with items they have that you might be able to sell.</p>
<p>If you are running around to flea markets, garage sales and estate sales trying to find items that will work well for sale as ebay collectibles, you&#8217;re leaving yourself very little time to market products. You&#8217;re also likely wasting lots of time with items that aren&#8217;t relevant to your business so you end up wasting your time.</p>
<p>Additionally, when sellers call you, you have the advantage. If you&#8217;re at a garage sale, you&#8217;re competing with all the other buyers and collectors for the same items. You&#8217;re in a race with lots of others for the same prize.</p>
<p>If the sellers call you, however, you&#8217;ve made them think that they may be able to raise some cash by selling their unwanted items to you.</p>
<p>You don&#8217;t want to rely on simple luck if you are trying to create an income with ebay collectibles. Trying garage sales is simply relying on luck &#8211; if you&#8217;re lucky, you&#8217;ll get there before other dealers, and you might get a good buy.</p>
<p>On the other hand, if you have a system you can get a consistent stream of new items to post on your ebay pages and create steady income and interest.</p>
<p>Instead of focusing on visiting the flea market, focus your time and energy on getting your phone to ring with people wanting you to buy their collectibles.</p>
<p>First, invest some time into reading up and practicing marketing, salesmanship, and closing the deal. A little time invested in understanding the nature of humans and understanding how sales works can pay off big.</p>
<p>Even though you are technically the buyer, you need to sell the person on the idea that you are a better buyer than anyone else, and that they should accept your offer.</p>
<p>Make up business cards and hand them out to anyone you meet or bump into.  Hand them out to the people near you in the line at the post office or grocery store, and find places where you can post fliers.</p>
<p>Let your friends and neighbors know what you want, and they&#8217;ll become some of your best advertisers. Give them cards to hand out.</p>
<p>Put some of your antiques or ebay collectibles on display at the local library or town center and make sure to put your name and phone number in the case.</p>
<p>Run small ads in the local paper saying that you pay cash for collectibles or antiques, and you can buy an advertising sign in the outfield of a local baseball park, basketball gym or soccer field.</p>
<p>Run ads in company newsletters that say you buy ebay collectibles or antiques, or put up a sign in the local pawn shop.</p>
<p>Soon you&#8217;ll have people calling you!</p>

<p><img class="left" src="http://www.vintageantiquecollectible.com/coincollecting/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/romancoins.jpg" alt="Roman Coins" width="220" height="215" />When it comes to collecting coins or paper money, many prefer to go straight to roman coins. These are highly historic collectibles that may actually be worth a good deal of money and many are quite rare. When you consider the fact that the coin had to survive for thousands of years, it’s easy to see why they are so popular, and why many can fetch such a high price at auction.</p>
<p>Roman coins were originally made in either silver, bronze or gold. Golden coins are considered to be the most rare, and are very hard to find today. However, a few collectors have managed to create quite a private collection of these rare coins. Silver was the most commonly used metal for coins in the period and during 200 B.C., the majority of coins produced were made of this material.</p>
<p>Interestingly enough, many Roman coins are actually made in the Greek style. This has been attributed to the fact that many Romans were doing business with Greeks, especially in certain parts of Italy, and they needed to have coins that would be acceptable to those that they were doing business with. Whatever the real reason might have been, it is obvious when you look at Roman coins that Greek designs did have a big influence on the finished products.</p>
<p>There are many different denominations of Roman coins, but drachmae are the most common. These were used by even the every day people in the city and for many workers, this was their daily wage. Many thousands of these coins were produced, and if you do find a Roman coin today, it will most likely be a drachmae since they were the ones that were the most mass produced. They were usually made of silver.</p>
<p>Bronze Roman coins are quite popular among collectors and while they are rarer than silver coins, they are not worth quite as much as their golden counterparts. Bronze coins were typically used for smaller denominations and were very common during the height of the Roman empire.</p>
<p>If you are looking to collect Roman coins, it is important to make sure that you are dealing with authentic pieces. The coins should not be perfect, in fact, they will have some oddities with their shape. This is due to the fact that the coins were all made by hand during this time period and it was natural that they would not be perfectly round. Most Roman coins will have the relief of an emperor, and this is a great way to tell just how old the coin may be.</p>
<p>Once again, the relief will not be perfect, and you should be able to tell that the coin was handmade. Roman coins that have survived throughout the years may be a bit dull in appearance, which is a good indicator of their authenticity. If you come across a coin that is simply too shiny, you may be dealing with a counterfeit.</p>
<p>To protect yourself when collecting Roman coins, it is always best to get an appraisal before you buy to ensure that they are authentic.</p>

<p><img src="http://www.vintageantiquecollectible.com/collector/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Collectible-Bottles.jpg" alt="" title="Collectible Bottles" width="240" height="180" class="left" />One of the most unique forms of collectibles are bottles and you’d be surprised at just how many you can find. Ranging from antiques that were produced in the 1900’s, to ones that are just rolling off the assembly line right now, collectibles bottles are a hot item and a lot of fun to collect. Whether you’re digging for them in your back yard, or buying them online, chances are you may be able to unearth an incredible deal. Let’s take a look at which kinds of collectible bottles are the most valuable.</p>
<h3>1. Perfume Bottles</h3>
<p>These are considered to be the best kind of collectible bottles, due to the fact that they are usually designed well, will hold up to age, and come in so many different shapes and sizes. From just old bottles that weathered the years well, to special editions from perfume companies, thousands of people collect perfume bottles. If you can find a rare one that still has the perfume inside, you’ve got a great deal.</p>
<h3>2. Milk Bottles</h3>
<p>The next most popular form of collectible bottles are milk bottles. Many of these will still have the original dairy label or embossing on the bottle itself. These are a lot of fun to collect, especially if you try to see just how many different dairies you can round up for your collection. These are pretty common collectibles, and although they may not have a lot of intrinsic value, they do make for great conversation pieces and look nice when displayed.</p>
<h3>3. Sanctuary Lights</h3>
<p>These collectible bottles are a little more rare, but with some searching you can find them. These are bigger than votive lights and are usually made to hold candles that are about eight inches high. They are classed under collectible bottles by many, but you’ll also find those that prefer to have them in a different category. Root beer sanctuary lights are a very rare form of this collectible that has become very popular in recent years.</p>
<h3>4. Colored Bottles</h3>
<p>These are the rarest form of collectible bottle, especially if you are dealing with vintage ones. They will usually have a slight shading of color to them, and they may be a bit faded, depending on how old they are, and where they were stored. These are very fun to collect, simply because they are so scarce and whenever you stumble across one it’s always cause for celebration.</p>
<p>When it comes to collectible bottles, it’s a good idea to focus on the ones that were made before the 1900’s, especially if you are looking for some that will be quite valuable. However, there are many forms of collectible bottles and each one may have a different overall value. Try to see just how many different collectible bottles you can come across and start building your selection today.</p>
<p>A great place to find new pieces for your collection is at a flea market, a second hand store, or even online at auctions.</p>
