: : I have a small collection of Caithness paperweights that I may wish to sell.  Firstly, how can I find out their worth?  Secondly, is Ebay the best way to go about this?
: : I'm in Australia.  Thanks

: First - I would mention the names of the weights here - possibly someone here makes you an offer. Readers interested could visit Scotlandsglass (Link below), do a "product search" on the name, and in many cases see an image. In most cases you will also see the original retail price there. Not all weights are online yet - if I have an image of a "missing weight" on my harddisk, I'll display it here on the board.

: For weights issued prior to 2004, the "Charlton Guide" by Colin Terris also estimates the value as of 2004. These estimates have to be taken with some caution, though - few weights fetch more than 50% of it nowadays on ebay - with limited weights more often above, unlimited weight often below these 50%. You could just be lucky, however, that 2 buyers just want to have it - in which case the upper limit cannot be reasonably estimated.

: ebay certainly gives you the largest audience - whether it's the best place to sell, I don't know (I never sell, only buy). There are many alternatives, all smaller, though. I recommend you have a look at
