The Top 20 Searches for Antiques and Collectibles at Kovels.com for October 2007

PRLog (Press Release) - Nov 13, 2007 -
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 October. 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 October 2007.

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 October there was less interest in finding prices for that item.

1. Stoves (Up from #2) 2. Jewelry (Down from #1) 3. Furniture (Up from #4) 4. World War II (Down from #3) 5. Silverplate (Up from #7) 6. Occupied Japan (No movement) 7. Lighters (Up from #8) 8. Knife (Up from #14) 9. Capo-Di-Monte (Up from #10) 10. Lladro (Up from #12) 11. Coca Cola (Down from #5) 12. Clock (Up from #19) 13. Josef Originals (Not listed last month) 14. Dolls (Up from #20) 15. Bottles (Not listed last month) 16. Royal Dux (Up from #18) 17. Planters Peanuts (Not listed last month) 18. Sheet Music (Not listed last month) 19. Flow Blue (Not listed last month) 20. Elvis Presley (Not listed last month)
