Where do I find about the value of colletable items?

Question

Collector plates,barbie dolls,some antiques

Answer 1

To find the market value of these items, it helps to search for each item in the closed listings on e-bay.  That is the true way to find the market value.

Otherwise you could get collector's guides at your local bookstore and they will give you prices.  However, like with baseball cards - you may see a price of $50 for a card, but in the real world - E-bay - the card sells routinely for $7 or $8.

So if you are looking to sell them - check out e-bay...if you are looking for fun...go to the bookstore.
