Being certified as an appraiser is one thing; it
doesn't make
you an expert with opinions about eBay and markets, does it?
Well, it sort of does, these days. The antiques and collectables market
and Ebay are connected so much that they will probably never come
apart. Even the big traditional auction houses have been changed by Ebay.
If a person is a professional appraiser and chooses not to study or
include Ebay, that person is either a fool or ethically challenged (or
both).
My take? Ebay is eighty or ninety percent of the market.
