My thoughts exactly
Like our friend above said, the prices most authentics reach on eBay is much lower than their true worth due to all the fakes on the market. The problem this gives us though is that the actual value then becomes irrelevent
To show you what I mean, I have a few really "valuable" authentic autos in my charity collection, such as one from Elton John. The list price for his auto can be anywhere from £250 to £450. When I held my first charity auction on eBay just before Christmas, my Elton auto raised bids f barely £80
I didn't sell it obviously, but my only option now is to put it (and some of my others) into a specialist auction and hope for the best
Just my thoughts!!!
