Vintage Cars: I just wondered if you would..., mail questions, lithographic prints


Question
I just wondered if you would know anything about Lithographic Prints for Peugoet.  My father has passed away recently and used to work for the company, hense having these plates, which range in size, there are about 10 altogether.  I am trying to find out what I should do with them.
Thanks if you can help me, on the above, I would be grateful.


Answer
Hi Al,

Well, since Peugeot is not well known in this country, and since I have no idea how old these plates are, etc., the best thing I could suggest at this point is to auction them off on Ebay. You can put a reserve price if you wish, even something very high, just to see how high the bids go. If you run the auction 2 or 3 times with the high reserve and keep getting the same level of bids, that's probably what they are worth, and the 4th time you can sell them knowing you're getting just about the maximum.

For a successful Ebay sale, you need some good photos and a good explanation of what they are, how you got them, etc. Do some research and take some decent photos and answer the bidders' e-mail questions promptly.

good luck with it,

Joe Troise
