By definition, an antique is “"a piece of furniture, tableware or the like, made at a much earlier period than the present." But Old and Sold, an online auction site dedicated to the buying and selling of antiques, makes them seem like so much more than that.
Old and Sold was founded by Brenda Eilers, a respected antique collector of DBA Quality Antiques, so those passionate about antiques had an online outlet to buy, sell, and discuss. Old and Sold also provides links to other antique auction selling sites.
Once you’ve joined Old and Sold, you can enjoy the many aspects of the site that prove invaluable to serious antique collectors. You can participate in the bidding and selling process by registering for free.
While its items are ancient, this site’s features are the opposite. In addition to the standard buying and selling features, users can access closed auction information, user feedback, and the ability to create a personalized page called a Just Me! Page. The Just Me! Page allows users to show the antiques they sell and are interested in.
Arguably, the most interesting feature of Old and Sold are the articles about the history of certain types of antiques, the time periods they originated in, and the customs that accompany some of these antiques. Some of the topics include the history of wedding rings, the history of the Yule season in America, and the first steps to coin collecting. Whether you fervently collect antiques or you’re just perusing Old and Sold, this aspect of the website is extremely interesting.
Old and Sold also features a user “Chat Café”, where users can talk about their antique findings or whatever else suits them.
Overall, Old and Sold is definitely recommendable for someone interested in buying or selling antiques. Though it’s auction features are fairly standard, it’s free, and also offers a vast array of auction resources and fun facts invaluable to any antique connosieur.
