Is there a good website for insulator values?

What ever happened to Grandpa Mac's Insulator Emporium? I used that site all the time to price insulators - did it move? I am not a big insulator collector but the website sure helped when I was pricing the Duquesne insulators I ran across.

Grandpa macs insulator price guide was taken down. I do not know of any free online sources anymore.

There isn't really anything comprehensive on the web.

You can try going to http://www.insulators.info click on Picture Poster and then search for your item in the For Sale or For Sale - Sold folders to get an idea of value.

I think getting a price guide is a good idea if you want complete info. The latest and greatest 2011 Briel edition is very good, although many casual collectors and dealers would find it too expensive for their needs. You might be able to find a used older edition (2003 or 2007) pretty inexpensively, and probably 90% of the values haven't changed much. I wouldn't recommend the 1999 or earlier editions because they don't have CD illustrations.

Went to www.insulators.info. Thank you for the tip BillinMo, I followed your directions and looked through a lot of sold insulators. Very helpful in determining a true value. I will be using it in the future.
