The Top 20 Searches for Antiques and Collectibles at Kovels.com for April 2008
Cleveland, Ohio - May 8, 2008 - Kovels.com (http://www.kovels.com), the Web's largest free price guide for antiques and collectibles, today released its list of the top 20 searches for April. The Kovels' top 20 list is based on the results of hundreds of thousands of searches that took place on its website during the month of April, 2008.
People use price guides for a number of reasons, usually to determine the value of an item that they own. If an item isn't listed on the top 20 list, it doesn't mean it is unpopular or that there isn't a demand for it. It only means that in April there was less interest in finding prices for that item.

Why is the price of some collectibles so much less than 10 years ago?
I found a McCoy touring car cookie jar in my mom's estate. I consulted two of Kovel's antique price guides. In the 1995 edition, the price of this item was set at $80. In the 2007 edition, the price had fallen to $29 for the same thing. What's going on?
Usually a collectibles value is determined by the availability of that item on the open market. Probably what happened is the same as what you found. The price in 1995 was fairly good for your item and people brought their cookie jars out of the closets and cupboards and started to sell them. Now all these little hidden treasures are coming onto the market and are easily found and the price has come down because everyone can find them. It's the treasures that are staying hidden that are keeping their value.
