<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>The Harley Davidson motorcycle has become an integral part of Americana and the pop culture of this country. Once the favorite bike of outlaws and renegades, Harley Davidson collectibles have gone mainstream and they are more popular than ever. There are literally hundreds of different Harley Davidson collectibles out there, and sometimes it can be hard to know where the real value is. Here’s an easy guide to finding the best Harley Davidson collectibles.</p>
<h3>Motorcycles</h3>
<p>By far, the most valuable and sought after Harley Davidson collectible is the motorcycle that bears its name. Whether it’s a chopper, or a regular edition bike, collectors can’t get enough of them and many of these bikes will sell for six figures at auction or at private sales. The older the bike the better, and it’s always nice to find one in good condition. However, some of the fun comes from restoration, so don’t miss a great opportunity if you come across a bike that needs a little repair.</p>
<h3>Lighters and Pocket Knives</h3>
<p>The next most popular and sometimes valuable Harley Davidson collectible are pocket knives and lighters. For lighters, look for a classic Zippo with the Harley logo, while simple pocket knives that have just the logo are also popular. There are hundreds of different designs and many private collectors will end up with dozens of these in their collections. These can be found at flea markets, garage sales and at online auctions. This is a great entry level collectible.</p>
<h3>Die Cast Models</h3>
<p>If you can’t get the real thing, a die cast model Harley Davidson collectible is the next best thing. These are intricate, scaled down models of the popular bikes and many of them will be hand painted and have moving parts. If you find one of these models that is still in its original packing, you’ll have found quite a deal. These are popular items at flea markets as well, and many can bring a pretty penny at auction.</p>
<h3>Apparel</h3>
<p>The next few Harley Davidson collectibles fall under memorabilia, and even though they may not have the same value as a 1969 Hog, they are still sought after by fans of the bike and collectors. One look at the streets of Sturgis can tell you just how many people buy and wear this apparel. Some of the older designs will have value, especially if the apparel is in good condition, but generally, this is more of a novelty item.</p>
<h3>General Harley Davidson Collectibles</h3>
<p>These cover a wide range of products, from salt shakers, to socks, to temporary tattoos and everything in between. You’d be surprised at just how many Harley Davidson collectibles there are out there and while these may only have emotional value, they are still a lot of fun to collect. Every once in awhile, you can even come across a figurine or a vintage collectible that actually is worth quite a bit of money. Keep your eyes open at garage sales and flea markets – you may just uncover a treasure!</p>

<p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/OJsMKGmgZB279Sf46Vzy9wQMBjo/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/OJsMKGmgZB279Sf46Vzy9wQMBjo/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/>
<a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/OJsMKGmgZB279Sf46Vzy9wQMBjo/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/OJsMKGmgZB279Sf46Vzy9wQMBjo/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><p><img class="left" title="antiquing" src="http://www.vintageantiquecollectible.com/antiquing/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/antiquing.jpg" alt="antiquing" width="240" height="180" />Some people falsely believe that the passion for accumulating a variety of antique treasures in an antique collection is an addiction, such as being a pack rat, but this is not actually true. The truth about going antiquing is that while it may be infectious, it is certainly not a disease and there is nothing wrong with having a passion for going out and looking for your favorite objects, especially since antiquing is a sure fire way for you to improve your mood. The feeling that stirs up our interest in going out looking for antiques is definitely a universal one among collectors. People who go out looking for collectibles are enjoying themselves, having a ball and feeling good all around.</p>
<p>A lot of people who regularly visit flea markets and other popular sources for collectibles meet a lot of other people who are just like them. These people enjoy the art of creating an antique collection  so much that they actually become relaxed by it. Browsing through these second hand stores, flea markets and other places for antiquing collectibles is popular because it is an inexpensive habit and allows us to collect a wide variety of different things without spending an arm and a leg in order to do so.</p>
<p>Improving upon our mood while we are out hunting for treasures is not only a psychological thing because there is also a physiological explanation attached to it as well. Shopping has been considered to be therapy for many people, and buying antiques or starting an antique collection can prove to be a really beneficial form of therapy because just like exercise, shopping can boost the feel good chemicals that are associated with mood, such as the runners high, or how people feel who take Zoloft or Prozac. For some people, shopping for antiques is capable of providing a thrill that is capable of offsetting a bad mood. Finding things that are exciting can build tension, adding significantly to the thrill and making antique hunting even more enjoyable and therapeutic accordingly.</p>
<p>Hobbies can become boring when finding collectibles for an antique collection becomes too simple. This is one of the most prevalent reasons for why seasoned antique collectors choose to spice up their collections by consistently upgrading the collections that they have, looking for rare antiques and other pieces and constantly hunting for more. People have found that becoming more selective about what they purchase allows them to add a suitable level of challenge to the process. Collecting antiques such as <a href="http://www.vintageantiquecollectible.com/dealers/Antiques/Furniture">antique furniture</a> and <a href="http://www.vintageantiquecollectible.com/dealers/Antiques/Decorative-Arts">antique home décor</a> is an endeavor that should be fun, exciting and enjoyable.</p>
<p>Most collectors actually rarely ever become frustrated when it comes to finding things for their antique collection, because they have fun hunting for treasure, and enjoy the chase involved in finding the antiques that they seek. As long as you are being smart about your antiquing, there is nothing wrong with being a little bit of a pack rat, if it means bringing yourself pleasure and lifting your mood.</p>

<p><img class="left" src="http://www.vintageantiquecollectible.com/sports-history/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/bobbleheads.jpg" alt="Bobbleheads" width="220" height="151" /><br />
Bobblehead dolls may be considered silly by some, but there is definitely a national craze to collect them. Whether it is of a famous personality, sports hero, or even a cartoon character, these fun collectibles can be found just about anywhere. While the garden variety bobbleheads are not really all that valuable, there are a few out there that will actually be worth quite a bit of money. Here’s a quick guide to help you find the diamonds in the rough.</p>
<h3>1. Mickey Mantle Bobbleheads</h3>
<p>These are perhaps the most sought after bobbleheads, and they are incredibly valuable. Look for the ones that were produced during 1961, when Mantle was going up against Marris. These were once sold for a mere dollar, but now can bring ten times that amount at auction, or even more. It’s rare to find one that is still in good condition, but flea markets and online auctions are a great place to start. Look for Mickey Mantle bobbleheads that don’t have any cracks in the finish and that are still generally in great condition. These will be the most valuable.</p>
<h3>2. Secretariat Bobblehead</h3>
<p>Although you wouldn’t think of a horse as being the prime candidate for immortalization as a bobblehead, the Secretariat dolls are incredibly collectible. These were produced during the horse’s quest for the Triple Crown, and since he holds such a high place in horse history and in the hearts of race fans everywhere, these dolls are actually highly sought after. Look for one that still has all the original paint and bright colors and you may just find one that is worth more than $850.</p>
<h3>3. Cal Ripken Jr Bobblehead</h3>
<p>Not all Cal Ripken Jr bobbleheads are worth money, so you’re going to want to keep your eyes open for the ones that were produced in 2001, when he was awarded game MVP. This doll will have an All Stars label as well as the number of the collectible. Only 2001 of these bobbleheads were produced, so finding one for sale won’t be easy. Once again, look for these at online auction sites, flea markets or even yard sales. You never know, you may just stumble on one of these highly collectible bobbleheads.</p>
<h3>4. Disney Sports Bobbleheads</h3>
<p>If you can find older Disney sports bobbleheads, they are usually worth a pretty penny, especially to someone that collects Disney memorabilia. These are easy enough to find if you hang around flea markets or go garage sale shopping. Most may not know just how valuable these dolls are, especially if they happen to have one of the prototype models from specific companies.</p>
<h3>5. Commemorative Bobbleheads</h3>
<p>A good rule of thumb to follow is that if a bobblehead is commemorating a specific event, such as a World Series win, or something in sports history, chances are it’s going to be pretty valuable. Always look for the ones that are part of a limited edition since they will definitely be worth the most amount of money and can sell for thousands at auction.</p>

<p>Were you a child of the 1950’s? If so, chances are you remember the 1950’s tv shows that set the tone for our entertainment today. These shows were much loved and back in an era when choices were limited to three channels, the audience for these 1950’s tv shows was vast. As a result, the networks tried to monetize the shows by producing various types of memorabilia. If you missed out on that memorabilia when you were a kid, don’t worry! It’s come back in a big way and there are thousands of collectibles out there just waiting to be discovered.</p>
<p>Some of the most popular 1950’s tv show collectibles were lunch boxes. Kids would take these to school with them and enjoyed showing them off to their friends. It is still possible to find one of these collectibles in decent shape and flea markets are a great place to start your search. Whether you loved Hopalong Cassidy or Roy Rogers, these lunchboxes are highly sought after and many of them are actually pretty valuable.</p>
<p>Next on the list of favorite 1950’s tv show collectibles were the small figurines and toys put out by the networks. These were commonly styled after western heros or popular stars at the time. By far, the western collectibles are the most popular and it is possible to find one of these original figurines at auction for several thousand dollars. If that’s a little steep, you can head online for some great deals from other collectors and antique stores. Online auction are a great place to get 1950’s tv show collectibles.</p>
<p>In addition to these fan favorites, the advertising inserts that promoted these 1950’s tv shows were also quite popular. This was a totally new medium at the time and it is fascinating to look back and see how the shows were promoted and what they entailed. For those that are already collecting advertising, these collectibles hold particular value.</p>
<p>Numerous different types of merchandise were put out for 1950’s tv shows and you’d be surprised by just how many you can find. From six guns, to coffee mugs, tv trays, and everything else in between, if there was a show in the 1950’s you enjoyed, chances are you’ll be able to find collectibles to match it. Some shows were so hugely popular that they spawned giant fan clubs, held massive parades and enjoyed tremendous ratings. These much loved shows may no longer be on the air, but thanks to these collectibles, you can relive your memories and see just how great television was back in the day.</p>
<p>No matter what kind of 1950’s tv show memorabilia you’re seeking, online auctions offer the widest selection. You’ll be able to find collectibles from all over the world. Many private collectors use these services to sell of parts of their collections and antique stores and private dealers also use these services to sell merchandise. If all else fails, check out your local second hand stores, garage sales or flea markets.</p>

<p>Although when most people think of collectible cards, they automatically think baseball, basketball cards are actually incredibly popular. There are thousands on the market and many of them depict some of the best players that ever hit the courts. If you are interested in basketball and looking for a valuable collectible, this may just be the perfect fit. Basketball card collecting is a great hobby for kids, and chances are, you may just enjoy them as well. </p>
<p>Let’s take a look at some of the most valuable kinds of collectible basketball cards that are currently on the market. While the most popular are undoubtedly the ones that feature star players, there are a few that may surprise you with their overall value. Once you know what to look for, you can start your search for basketball cards in your local area, at flea markets, and especially online. There are numerous online auction sites that offer collectible basketball cards, and you just never know which treasures you might uncover on any given day.</p>
<p>The first thing to think about when you are trying to find valuable basketball cards is the year that you are interested in. Whether you remember a favorite championship, or there was a big year for a certain team, these are usually the most valuable basketball cards that you can find. For example, the cards produced during the Laker’s domination of the NBA are very valuable, as are the cards that were produced when the association was first formed.</p>
<p>There are also many collectible basketball cards that are highly sought after due to their designs or for the events that they commemorate. As an example, the basketball cards that are produced for Olympic teams are incredibly popular, especially for years that the United States was victorious. Many of these cards will feature your favorite players over the years and this is a great way to add to your collection.</p>
<p>By far however, the most valuable basketball cards are the ones that are signed by the actual players. While there are some reprints on the market, they are not going to be as valuable as the ones that have authentic autographs. The overall sticker price and the value will be determined by the player that signed the card as well as the year that it was produced. It’s a good idea to start looking for your favorite players, but always keep an eye out for a rare card, especially if it is older. You may just stumble on a gold mine if you keep your eyes open.</p>
<p>Lastly, basketball cards that promote novelty teams, such as the Harlem Globetrotters are also surprisingly valuable. You can typically find these at garage sales, since the owners may not realize that there is a market for these types of cards. This is a great way to easily find very valuable cards and you’ll typically only have to pay pennies on the dollar when you shop garage sales or auction sites for these basketball cards.</p>

<a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/t-WPIl9bF1J_Dkr0Gaiyx9RRWHs/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/t-WPIl9bF1J_Dkr0Gaiyx9RRWHs/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><p><a href="http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o176/kc410877/Guru/rare_book.jpg"><img class="left" title="Rare Books" src="http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o176/kc410877/Guru/rare_book.jpg" alt="Rare Books" width="220" height="220" /></a>Many people who collect rare books have relationships with a number of booksellers who handle these types of books, and have lists of the books they&#8217;d like to own.  The seller, when that book becomes available, will contact the customer and then they negotiate on a price.  Some online rare book sellers give the option of making such a wish list with them, and then you could be notified if they should find they have your books available.  </p>
<p>If you&#8217;re interested in collecting rare books, establishing a relationship with several sellers and giving them your wish lists is an excellent beginning.  You can at least be assured that if one of these sellers come across a book that you&#8217;ve expressed an interest in, you&#8217;ll be contacted and you&#8217;ll have the opportunity to negotiate its purchase.  Whether or not you&#8217;ll end up with the book depends on how many other people the seller has to notify, and how aggressively the other customers go after the same rare book. </p>
<p>But rare book sellers aren&#8217;t the only way you can find rare books.  Flea markets can provide interesting finds, as can yard sales.  Very often people take their old books and sell them for pennies at these kinds of sales.  If the seller isn&#8217;t well-read or interested in rare books, he or she might not be aware that the old book they&#8217;ve never read and don&#8217;t even remember where they got could be quite valuable in the rare book market. </p>
<p>Auctions like eBay are an excellent place to find rare books, too.  While it&#8217;s fun to browse through the tables at flea markets and yard sales and come across an old book that costs virtually nothing and could very well be worth something, when you approach booksellers or auctions, it&#8217;s best to know exactly what books you want. </p>
<p>If you&#8217;re looking for rare books by a specific author, that makes it quite easy to search the numerous auctions you&#8217;ll find online, and if you&#8217;re looking for a specific book or books, then your search is simplified even more.  Though it can worthwhile to simply browse the books at eBay, you&#8217;ll want to narrow it down.  Go to the category called “Antiques” and then choose “Books and Manuscripts.”  You can narrow it down further by choosing the region of the world you&#8217;d like the books to originate from, or you can choose the main category and spend hours browsing the rare book auctions. </p>
<p>As far as judging the value of rare books, much depends on the author, the condition of the book and its binding, and the book itself.  First editions are the most coveted types of rare books available today, as they represent the very first printing of the book, and are almost always more valuable than later printings. If you&#8217;re looking at an auction that says “reading copy,” then pass on it.  This is a book that&#8217;s in poor enough condition that you can enjoy reading it, but it&#8217;s not collectible. </p>

If you enjoy dealing in old heirlooms, yard sales, estate sales and flea markets, and you think that selling antiques is a hobby that you will enjoy doing, then keep reading.</p>
<p>First and foremost, you need to decide what type of antique seller you want to be. Are you hoping to sell antiques full time or part time? Would you like to sell in flea markets or your own antique shop? Can you handle all of the unique responsibilities that go along with owning your very own antique shop? There are a number of considerations for you to make, including:</p>
<p><strong>- * Money &#8211; </strong>You need money to make money, and starting such an endeavor is going to cost you a decent amount of money at first. You are going to have to buy or rent a building, utilities, fixtures, insurance, accounting and hiring employees as well.<br />
<strong><br />
- * Inventory &#8211; </strong>You are going to need a full inventory all the time in order to effectively run an antique store.</p>
<p><strong>- * Taxes &#8211; </strong>You will need to pay taxes for your business and any income that you pay yourself, meaning that taxes will become more complicated than before.</p>
<p><strong>- * Insurance &#8211; </strong>Insurance matters are also going to become more complicated since you will be paying insurance for yourself, for your company and for any employees that you hire as well.</p>
<p><strong>- * Time -</strong> Most business owners, including antique shop owners, put in more than 40 hours of work every single week. Can you handle this?</p>
<p>Are you interested in selling antiques as a vendor at trade shows, craft shows and flea markets? You can work at antique shows and local fairs as well. This is going to require significantly less responsibility as if you owned your own store, but there are still some considerations that you need to make, including:</p>
<ul>
<li>You need to have enough merchandise on hand,</li>
<li> You need to have the proper displays so that you can show off your products,</li>
<li> You need to have proper transportation for your products,</li>
<li> You may need assistance setting up or selling your products,</li>
<li> You need to have a display plan that is pleasing to the idea.</li>
</ul>
<p>In other words, no method of selling antiques is without its important considerations. No matter how you decide to sell your antiques, be it online, through flea markets or in your very own store, there are a number of things that you need to consider before you make any concrete decisions. Make sure that you weigh all of your options carefully before you choose one option over the other, and do not be afraid to start small and work your way up to something greater with time.</p>

What this means is that you should be sticking to the antique shops that care about the antiques, rather than simply turning a quick buck for what they feel is a bunch of old junk. You should be enjoying yourself when you go antique shopping, which means avoiding junky flea markets may be a good idea unless you really love a challenge.</p>
<p>You are definitely going to find a challenge when you go antique shopping in a flea market. You will find trash, you will find treasure, but most importantly of all, when you go antique shopping in this manner you will find plenty of fun. High end antiquing may be the way to go when you are a serious antique collector, but if you are into antique shopping for having fun, then toss your stuffy collar out and hit the trashiest, messiest and most disorganized flea markets and see what you can find. After all, antique shopping should be fun, enjoyable and therapeutic above all else, right?</p>
<p>If you are a serious collector and you are going antique shopping, then it would be wise for you to bone up on the things that you are interested in collecting. If you are not well versed in what you are doing when you go antique shopping, then bring a Kovels guide with you so that you do not end up buying something worthless, or passing up something priceless. Going antique shopping should be about enjoying yourself, that is a fact. Going antique shopping should also be about netting the right antiques however. This does not necessarily mean the most priceless, but it does means the ones that mean the most to you and benefit you the best.</p>
<p>There are a wide variety of truly excellent books, guides and resources available that you can bring with you when you go <a href="http://www.vintageantiquecollectible.com/dealers/">antique shopping</a>. The local library is definitely going to be a good place for you to get the ball rolling. There are a number of excellent reference books for going antique shopping that you can look at if you want a broad range of the types of collectibles and antiques that are available. Specific books on specific antiques will also benefit you if there is a specific type of antiques that you are looking for when you go antique shopping.</p>
<p>Having fun when you go antique shopping is all about buying it when you like it. Buy any random item that you like as long as you have space for it, and as long as you are enjoying yourself in the process. This is what antique shopping is really all about.</p>

<p>Whether you were once in the military, or you are a collector all of things militaria, military coins are a great and valuable item to start amassing. There are many different kinds of military coins that are currently available and numerous countries put them out. Whether they are meant to raise funds for defense, or simply to commemorate a special date, many of these coins are worth a great deal of money.</p>
<p>If you are interested in collecting military coins, there are a few things you should know before hand. Typically, you’ll find that the coins are divided up by the specific branch of the military for which they are issued. For example, there are military coins available for the Army, Air Force, Navy and Marines. Many collectors like to focus on one specific branch of the service, especially if they have a tie to that branch.</p>
<p>Military coins are also those that are shared between soldiers in other countries. It was a common practice during World War II to swap coins with allies. This gave soldiers a unique memento of their time overseas and these are considered to be very valuable, especially when you consider the overall emotional value of the coin to a collector.</p>
<p>If you want to buy military coins, there are a few places you can look.</p>
<h3>Coin Shops</h3>
<p>This is probably the best place to get military coins and you’ll be likely to find thousands at these stores. For those looking for rare coins, this type of store is a treasure box full of new finds just waiting to be discovered. Most towns will have at least one coin shop or one located near by. When you are shopping at one of these stores, ask for any certificates of authenticity if possible and make sure that the coins are authentic.</p>
<h3>Flea Markets</h3>
<p>In many cases, you can find incredible treasures at flea markets and this is also a great way to add to your collection of military coins. Many people will set up specific military related collectible booths, and you can find a good selection of coins. Others will have a more general approach, so you may need to do some digging to find the coin that you want.</p>
<h3>Online Auctions</h3>
<p>The availability of military coins has increased exponentially thanks to the Internet. You can now find coins from all over the entire world and you’ll have rare access to coins that wouldn’t normally be available in your area. While there is a little bit of risk that comes with shopping online, when you can’t actually view the coin you’re buying, most sellers are honest and will provide you with authentication. It is still a good idea to read up about the coins you want to collect so that you know what to look for.</p>
<p>These auction sites will typically have great deals on military coins and you can easily stock up or complete your collection in just a few minutes when you buy online.</p>
