The antiques and collectibles category is one of the most popular on consumer-to-consumer auction sites and marketplaces. Unsurprisingly, most of the antique and collectible objects traded online are sold in the auction format. After all, this area of human activity has always been the backbone of the auction business, because the dynamic mechanism of bidding is particularly well suited for determining the price of non-standard items whose value is open to debate.

Consequently, taking the business of buying and selling antiques online was just a matter of transplanting a popular activity and a suitable pricing mechanism into a new milieu, the Internet. And there it flourished from day one and still continues to flourish today.

In the past, the antiques and collectibles world used to be a restricted affair, confined to regional or, at best, national venues and fairs. The Internet has changed that. It has provided a global market place, connecting distant buyers and sellers. The objects a buyer would normally spend months or even years tracking down are now available at any time, from a computer at the buyer’s home. The objects a seller would previously hoard for days or months until he found a buyer will now sell online in a matter of days or even hours, and often at a better price than could be obtained in the “real world”.

The Internet has also empowered buyers and sellers, by making available to both a wealth of knowledge. It has never been easier to do research about antique and collectible items and to keep up-to-date with current trends and the latest values. With all that information at their fingertips, a buyer who overpays for a collectible item and a seller who undersells an antique object are becoming a rarity themselves.
