Vonda! you are the the best! You get it you really do XO~Dawn

I love shopping for vintage jewellery on eBay. I've purchased some beautiful pieces while we've been under lock down. Probably a little too many purchases? 'Oooops'!! 😄 Loved this video. I do eBay much the same as you. I love to find those hidden gems! Stay lovely! ✌💕xx

[@HUDSONVINTAGE]

That's a great idea! I love that, very very cool to share with us XO~Dawn

[@elizabethandiosa4579]

Love it. I picked up a large chunky I think sand cast silver ring after watching one of your videos. It looks vague.y like some type of mark but I could be wrong

[@HUDSONVINTAGE]

Thanks for watching and commenting @elizabethandiosa4579!

Great little reminders of how to score. I sell on eBay just so I can shop. I call it modern shopping. 😎

You are so welcome!

I also look at the Junk Drawer Lots. Many times it is older men doing these to supplement the retirement income. And being men, if it isn't real gold, they consider it not worth anything and throw jewelry in these Junk Drawer Lots.

[@HUDSONVINTAGE]

Incredibly cool of you to share that! Thank you so much for watching Viva XO~Dawn

[@reginaromsey]

You are getting an eBay look that I’ve never seen. You are getting it in Listing, and more information than I do. I must work to find these. We also have a different jewelry interests. Still your tips are good!

[@HUDSONVINTAGE]

Nice!

[@irisflentroy3202]

Loved this, thank you..💍💎📿

[@HUDSONVINTAGE]

Hi Iris, Thank you for watching xo ~D

[@laksitamochtar]

Hi Dawn, you should do this regularly, give your opinion for some ebay's stuff : which one is hidden treasure, is it really vintage or not, is the price reasonable,..... 😁

[@HUDSONVINTAGE]

HMMMM... I think you are right!! I'm working on doing that in a special way.. stay tuned XO~Dawn

[@gloriahanes5338]

The time to have bought was in 1998 on Ebay when kids were dumping out their parents, grandparents, and great grandparents jewelry boxes and selling everything for pennies on the dollar. Now, when I go on Ebay I have sticker shock when I see the prices of vintage jewelry. I do agree "hidden gems" can be found on a novice Seller'd site, but few and far between. I have a keen eye, but honestly the pieces I use to get for $35.00 are now going for $325.00 to $695.00. I remember when I bought out a warehouse in Italy of Florenza cameo brooches which went out of business in 1948 for $5 each and now these are going for $50 - $85 each.

[@gardendaisy]

I havent been able to find jewelry here in CA thrift stores for a long time. Everything good they put online i think. Do you find good pieces in CA?

[@KarenFae101]

When you watch an auction that you plan to bid on and there is a bid on it already do you click on the bidder to see their #’s. To get an idea if they are newer to eBay or if you are bidding against a seasoned reseller. Like on the earrings toward the end of the video you said you planned on swiping. 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@HUDSONVINTAGE]

I don't pay attention to other bids or bidders. I just put the top bid at what I think I am willing to pay, and snipe it.

[@tesora5691]

Hi thank you for the wonderful video. if you make another video like this one,could you give an estimate what you would sell them for. Thank you:)

[@HUDSONVINTAGE]

Yes I can! Thank you so much for watching! XO~Dawn

[@KarenFae101]

When you scroll so fast I can’t see the pieces you’re passing up & it makes me dizzy 🥴 Love your teaching. Wish I knew just 1/2 of what you know. Fun learning though. 💕💗

[@HUDSONVINTAGE]

Next time!

[@kellylyimo5918]

This may be a dumb question but have you ever found jewelry worth anything at antique stores or thrift stores ?

[@HUDSONVINTAGE]

Many times over many years. I did a video on my best thrift finds: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qquQmKKEYtWrm5o

[@spicydamesvintagejewelryth2155]

I got some some earrings that were stamped sterling but it stuck to a magnet. I only paid 2.50 so not to bummed.

I think that one pin is KJL. I’ve seen it before I swear, the guy one. I love searching for things online. It’s like another way to treasure hunt.

[@HUDSONVINTAGE]

Carla!!! Hi! check this out, start watching at minute 22 kzbin.info/www/bejne/eGfQhJ-sodF2ppY

[@matthewlevi2685]

Do you relist them on EBay for a higher price or do you sell them in a Brick and mortar? Thanks 😊

[@HUDSONVINTAGE]

I Don't need to search on eBAy to sell anymore. I get good things and consignment through contacts. I do look for comparing market value. HAPPY new year! xo~D

[@tova8856]

Is there a manual or book that has info about antique jewelry, etc that you can recommend? Or even some kind of website? I understand that there are certain marking that should be looked for, or just simply knowing what is from what era but I have no idea where to start! Haha I would love to learn, thank you in advance!

[@HUDSONVINTAGE]

Hi Tova, Thank you so much for watching! Join our FB page, the links are in the description box. Lots of knowledge there, we have the cream of the crop on vintage jewelry. Also here's a link to the books I recommend: preview.tinyurl.com/y3b6zbla

@@HUDSONVINTAGE amazing, thank you!

[@marlenemcmillan8891]

Do you collect names like Boucher and trifari..

[@HUDSONVINTAGE]

Yes I love the quality of the old signed pieces. But I go through phases of favorites. One of my first loves was early Boucher, and I love 1970's and 1940's Trifari in particular. Regency and Kramer still look modern even today... sigh It's impossible to choose. :) XO ~Dawn

[@cytherea0860]

What is the best deal you ever made from Ebay?

[@HUDSONVINTAGE]

Hi Cytherea, Thank you for such a nice question. I won a Native American jacla necklace for around $12 many years ago :)

[@donnareed4140]

This is probably the dumbest question ever but here goes....on your screen next to the items' price is the timer showing the amount of time left and also the details of the seller. Mine only shows the amount of time left. Where is the filter to show the seller's name and the number of sales they have had as shown on your screen. Signed: I've been home alone too long.... Thanks!

[@HUDSONVINTAGE]

Hello I've been home alone too long (😁), That is a great question! Right under the search box, to the right of "Time: ending soonest" is the drop down box. It just has 3 lines, but if you drop it, one of the choices is custom, and thats where you can choose seller info. Thank you so much for watching! XO~Dawn
