The 48th edition of America’s best-selling antiques price guide is here! The just-published Kovels’ Antiques & Collectibles Price Guide 2016 is available now online and in bookstores. Kovels’ is the most complete guide on the market, with more than 32,000 all-new, current prices and 2,500 new color photographs. Prices are from actual sales and are reviewed for accuracy—no estimates. Kovels’ features items sought by collectors in over 700 categories and in all price ranges, from $2 to $402,500, not just the highest-priced antiques found in most guides.

Kovels’ user-friendly price guide includes everything from advertising to Zsolnay pottery, along with up-to-date information about each category, logos, marks and dates. Also featured are hundreds of expert tips, comments on trends and pricing patterns, and the year’s record prices. All this enables collectors to buy, sell and collect with confidence.

Best of all, there’s an entirely new addition to this year’s book. “How to Sell” helps dealers, sellers and buyers research how and where to sell collections. This special report explains nine ways to sell antiques and collectibles, each with its profits and pitfalls. It covers places to sell, what sells high, what is out of style and what sellers need to know about selling online. Also included are lists of auctions, online antiques malls and websites that specialize in particular antiques and collectibles, as well as club publications that accept “wanted” and “for sale” ads.
