I just won these. I saw them up for auction the day before. What do you think of them and what would you sell them for?

Scroll down a bit.

Green,
Price would depend on whether or not they're yellow, plain green, or vaseline glass.

Interesting. Thanks, Dogaman. They really over spent in that auction. If I look correctly these seem to have a blue aqua tint. I don't think I over paid. I think they're beautiful. My husband thinks I'm selling them, but I'm not sure yet. Lol how many times I've done that! ;D
-
Are you talking about the ones that sold for $600? They are Stuben and well worth it but yikes.... ;D
-
Green,
LOL! I know what you mean. When hubby and I go looking at Carnival Glass, he picks up EVERY piece and calls, "Honey!" So, no matter where I am in the store, I go over and look. Nine times out of ten, it is a piece of contemporary.
I'll buy contemporary with the intent to eventually resell, but the price has got to be right. It's the original issued items I'll have a hard time getting rid of. ;)
-
I really like them a lot. I 'll see when they arrive. I have one more pair I will put up later. These are the pair I may need help with. It makes it hard to determine a value when you see such extreme prices.
-
Green,
You can take all complete auction prices and average them. Then decide from there.
-
Well, the 600 throws the numbers out off. They over paid.

;D ;D Like I've told people, iffen you are having a garage sale and you have a 57 Chevy hood ornament on your table with a price tag of $8.75 on it ........ and some dapper dude drives up in a restored 57 Chevy that is missing a hood ornament ....... then you probably have your ornament priced way too low.
-
?? Not sure what you mean.
-
Green,
When you do the average auction price paid, you can throw out the highest and the lowest.
-
Not sure that's wise. Condition is vital. You have to compare yours with the closest matching examples and when they were sold.

Are those on the Ebay listing the ones you have ? They're definitely Steuben ?
-
I will check them when I recieve them. Do you think it was a good buy Ipcress? Should I hold on to them for a bit?
-
Well they don't look a bad buy but we'll have to see. Have seen the same designed but only partially frosted glass sell for less money, but even then that could have been a bargain
These were $300

?? Not sure what you mean.
The price one will pay for an item is directly proportional to how much they want or need the item.
And in the case of antiques or collectibles, the price one will pay for an item is directly proportional to whether they are purchasing said item for themself (or a customer) or for resale.
And ps, the difference between the above stated (or a customer) or for resale .... is that oftentimes a customer will tell you .... "if you find one, BUY IT", period.
And thus the reason you often see a "highly inflated" price on an item that was "sold".
I once seen, many years ago, a small (1 qt) "marked" stoneware jug sell at an estate auction for $185 ...... and people in the crowd were saying "WOW, I didn't know they were worth that much".
They weren't, ..... only about $20 at the time. ;D ;D ;D
-
They get caught up in the momemt. It's the competition.
-
In the case of that jug, it was two men, both dealers/pickers, and each decided independently that the other fellow was not going to buy that jug ...... and the race was on. :D
-
The thrill of the win! ;D
-
Ipcress, thank you.
-
So disappointed. One came smashed in the mail today. Now I have to search for a matching one. I contacted the seller to see what we can do.
-
Green,
Awww. That must have been heartbreaking! Hope things work out.
-
Thank you, Dogaman. They wrapped it poorly. I was annoyed.
