To Scared to buy online? It May Cost You $500,000

beerLast few post have been about the dark side of online auctions. Do not let that stop you from buying dragon artwork or other collectibles online. You may very well find that bargain of a life time, it happens everyday. Many people do not know what they have when it comes to Chinese art. They get a painting or carving from inheritance and have no clue how to list it or its value. When things are listed wrong, that’s your chance to make some serious cash

A rare bottle of beer was misspelled in the title of the auction and sold for $304 on ebay. The buyer promptly relisted it with the correct spelling on ebay and it sold for over $500,000. So its definitely worth looking for listings that might be incorrect as very often those selling paintings have very little knowledge of what they have. You can email the seller and ask some questions but don’t give the buyer to much of a tip off though. Its also best to start off small and buy less expensive works at first so you get comfortable with the process. Try and bid later in a auction, running the price up early will cost you money. You can use software like bid sniper if you really want to get your bids in at the very close of the auction.

Buying online is definitely cheaper than using dealers for collectibles. I have purchased many authentic items in the $10-$100 range that would of cost $300-$1000 offline. So don’t be scared the good definitely out weighs the bad. I sometimes think all the horror stories about buying online are spread by people getting all the bargains, just to keep the rest of you people offline.
