Prices are sky rocketing and we as well as many other eBay sellers (not all) are giving it away and the pieces are just as authentic and well made as anyone elses. As a matter of fact, many of the Galleries are buying from the same traders or at the same shows we do. I have seen the items in the Galleries and discussed the situation with my trader.

We would like to help you see what old Native American jewelery is selling for today and give you some tools that may help. Wether you are wondering what to bid or offer, if you got a good deal or not, if the sellers price it too high, or even if you were wondering about a piece of your own, knowing what you would have to pay for a comperable item somewhere else can certainly give you a clue.

We know that some of you try to be fair but need to remain within their budgets and trust me, we feel your pain. But some people actually think we are asking too much for our items or are just looking for a great deal. I do not deny you that, but at least look for comparisons so that you know what a deal really is and this works both ways. You may even find a piece that you were considering purchasing last month but was not sure if it was a good deal now priced in a Gallery for twice what it was listed for on eBay.

PLEASE FEEL FREE TO LEAVE COMMENTS, INCLUDE LINKS THAT MAY HELP PEOPLE SEE WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE WHOLE NATIVE AMERICAN JEWELRY MARKETPLACE.

Example: The bracelet on the left is in my store and the bracelet on the right is available at http://elmoreindianart.com/Detailed/153.html for $1250 and is listed as a 1930's piece.  The bottom bracelet is from the Medicine Man Gallery is $2200 and he dates it 1920's.  To be honest I can go on and on but I just wanted to demostrate how this may help.

IF YOU SEE ANYTHING LISTED IN MY STORE THAT YOU MAY BE INTERESTED AND WOULD LIKE ME TO SHOW YOU COMPS, SEND ME AN EMAIL AND I WILL POST IT HERE.  EBAY RULES MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO ADD SO MANY LINKS ANYWHERE ELSE.
