I am a seasoned eBay seller and buyer. I attend many auctions, yard sales and estate sales I keep this book in my laptop bag!! I was surprised at how up to date it was and just how much information was packed in it. Definitely a must for newbies and a plus to seasoned buyers and sellers.

VERY good book for getting an idea on values from items you might see at garage sales and flea markets. I love going and always am looking for something I can resell but needed some idea of values. This book is a great tool.

This is an excellent book to research before you make a
purchase or sell an item.Very often people discard collectibles
at neighborhood garage sales,from their parents homes,without
knowledge of glassware,wooden toys(Made in the U.S.A).
It is also handy when making a purchase from Ebay.I had an old
coin collection from childhood...that I happened to check on Ebay,
some of the coins were worth a pretty penny.
Getting back to the book,it is up to date,easy to read,and has color pictures of many items,along with the history.There are many antique shows in my area,and other high priced flea markets.
My best bargains have always come from suburban Garage Sales.
I have found "Gurley Christmas Candles" like new for 10 cents,
good milkglass for the same amount.Old Golden Books,1940's
vaseline glass cordial glasses.There are so many ways you can
use these old products and help re-cycle.I like to put my green
glasses out in the summer,surrounding our fence and pool.I then
place small votive size citronella candles in them,and they look
so charming.
I really enjoy collecting and selling.These books are a real
value to me.

The 17th edition of GARAGE SALE & FLEA MARKET ANNUAL offers the latest details on collectibles to be found in such venues, pairing the latest values with color photos throughout and offering company histories and tips relating to each collectible. The result is a fine reference suitable for any general-interest library where garage sales are part of the interest of patrons.
