Dirt, Take pictures of them and show antique shops. have someone with photo phone take pictures and print on computer ( Very Littel Cost) if you have that many I would call an auction service and let them hold an auction sometimes you get less then value ,sometimes you get more! another way is to call antique shop and have them come in and give you and appraisal..Caution should be taken anyway you go, Get books and learn ballpark range  before calling anybody!  Take the time and do it right!   Good luck  also look at (worthpoint.com) REMEMBER IT'S A BUYERS MARKET TODAY!

If you go on e-bay and go to an item you have- then click prices realized - it will show what that item sold for, such as silver teapot, find one, then on side click prices realized. There are some antique price guides available- such as Schroeder, and can be found at your library- if not yours then another library. Or do a google search for antique price guides and buy one. Often antique stores sell them.

you can definitely sell antiques online. if they are considered antiques

The process

If you want to know how to sell antiques and collectibles online, the first thing that you should deal with is the task of observing how online auction websites work. Just like any auction house, online auction websites work by inviting antique and collectible sellers as well as potential buyers. Pictures and details of the products on trade are displayed in the websites by their respective sellers. They also designate a defined time period for online bidding. Just like any other auction, the aspiring buyer with the highest bid wins the product.

Basically, if you have a very valuable product at hand, you should make it a point to provide lots of details and pictures. Included in the list of details that you should indicate are the historical background of the piece (especially if it is an antique), the restoration procedures it underwent, the condition of the item, and other things that will possibly increase the marketability of the item.

Auction and shopping sites

To give you an idea on how to sell antiques and collectibles through the internet, you can visit the most popular websites that antique dealers and buyers often use.

Ebay:

this site is probably the most popular online auction venue of today. You won’t really know how to sell antiques and collectibles online if you haven’t visited Ebay yet. Dealers and buyers on this site can gain credibility through their online trade. Every time they make a transaction, both parties can provide ratings and feedbacks on each other. This provides a sense of security for the online traders.
Ebay provides one of the most convenient and quick ways for online trading. Unlike other sites, buyers from this site can purchase items through an auction style set-up or through a fixed price feature.

Go Antiques:

Unlike Ebay, this site is more specialized. In this site, potential dealers can see which auctions are coming up. They can also automatically add their inventory to the auction list, provided that it fits the categories and the standards of the auction. If the items are not sold during the auction, they are listed back in the dealer’s store inventory. What’s highly remarkable about the site is the fact that it does not charge a listing fee from its dealers. However, there is a final value fee of 5%.
