Kovels online

[Q]

How reliable is that site as far as pricing and accuracy? Kovel's Online

I am preparing to sell some 3 dozen bottles on eBay and wanted to check the accuracy of pricing. If this is not accurate, does anyone have a better suggestion?

THanks in advance!

I checked the price of one of the bottles from my own collection in which I already knew the value to the price listed on Kovel's online... Kovel's online had the price listed for approximately 2 1/2 times that value. I only trust price guides using actual auction results. Kovel's sometimes uses the value that a dealer will sell rather than an actual realized auction value. Anything is only worth what people will pay. Ebay usually is a good indicator of the value of a bottle (as long as the bottle is accurately described). There are those that say Kovel's (jokingly, of course) uses a random number generator to come up with their prices.

If you post pictures here with an accurate description, some of us may be able to give you a ballpark figure on the value of some of your bottles.

Who said I was joking. I made up that fact myself so I know it's true.
