I have found a seller on Yahoo! that has listed an item i’d like to buy. He/she also has over 3,000 other items up for sale on Yahoo! as well. My question is i’d like to search throughout his auctions/store front for other items he’s selling realted to my interests.

For example; say I found an old original Coca~Cola sign he was selling and wanted it and his other thousands & thousands of auctions/store items have listed anything & everything under the sun, *yet* I wanted to see if he had any more of these antique pop signs still available. How can I avoid scrolling through his entire list of auctions to locate what i’m looking for?

I have tried ‘Narrow Search Down By Seller’, but that doesn’t let me search specifics like ’signs’ with that seller. It just brings up every thing the seller is selling. I tried Yahoo’s Advance Search and that’s of no help for this question i’m asking.

Please tell me how I can search specific items from 1 specific seller?

Thanks so much!

I have an antique oil painting that has a scratch/small hole in it. How can I find out what it is worth? It is not dated or signed; however, it is, without doubt, pre-1900s. It has a beautiful wood frame, painted white, with gold accents.The frame is also slightly damaged from storage and age. I can tell it has not ever been reframed. It is not bright in color at all. It is mostly a dull blue and green. It is not that detailed. It is also about 16″ tall X 26″ wide, approx. It has only 4 lilies up close and the background is all sky and pond in pale blue and grey. There are a few green shrubs and things in the left corner but very dull in color. Any ideas on what it may possibly be worth or where I might find info on something like this?

This painting is dated on back 9/20/84, handwritten and also
has written
Tucker, 105 drifs
Kleinschinioltz Lueaz
I purchased this at a Antique Flea Market. How do I find out who J Garcia is? I have checked on the internet and have went
thru page after page of Jerry Garcia’s painting which for the most part I believe to be Abstracts, this is not an abstract.

I have an antique oil painting of lilies and a pond. It is not dated or signed; however, it is easily pre-1900s. It has a beautiful wood frame, painted white, with gold accents. I can tell it has not ever been reframed. Here is where my question comes in. Is it still worth anything without any markings and with a small tear in the canvas? The frame is also slightly damaged from storage and age.

It’s called “The Rubbernex in Florida” by Asa Cassidy who’s also known for his paintings. This book was extremely limited, published in 1938, and was signed by the author along with a personal message to the intended recipient. It’s hardcover, in pretty good condition with minor wear. It’s been in my family since the ’30s, but now it’s in my hands to sell. I have not been able to locate another one of this title for ANY information. There are no websites about this book (including Amazon.com, which I use them for everything.) I do not want to price this through the roof, but I don’t want to sell it for a ridiculously low price either. I do know it is rare, which adds to the value, and it’s signed by the author himself, which obviously is a giveaway to it’s monetary value, plus taking into consideration that there are literally no other copies of this book anywhere!

Any ideas??

BTW, I’m selling this on eBay, in fixed price format. This will not be in Auction style format like most other items on eBay. Thanks!!

I bought an old oil canvas painting at a garage sale a few years back. I is signed by famous artist and has a letter followed by 4 numbers on the back of it. The name of the artist was Andreas Gyula Bubarnik. I want to know if the picture is worth something.

Jason T asked:


Ok. This is the story, my dad found this in a storage and gave it to me. But I have no clue as to what it is. I thought it was a astronomical clock piece or somthing. I checked a couple of sights and couldn’t find anything. The two center pieces rotate around just like the one on the back. There are zodiac signs with alot of numbers and old english letters around it. On the back, it appears to be the same thing with a diffrent patterns and more symbles.

Here are some photos and sorry they couldnt be clearer:

Pete Smith found in his attic a Woody Woodpecker watch in its original box. It had a price tag on it for $4.65. The watch was made in 1949. Pete brought the watch to an antiques dealer and sold it for $36.00. What was the percent of increase in price? (Round to the nearest hundredth percent. Omit the “%” sign in your response.)

The percent increase is ____________%

Thanks Ms. H

I have a old mirror that has a picture of a Yankee basball player. He signed it and it is in mint condition. How much could it be worth?

Maria asked:


I become upset/depressed/overwhelmed/agitated when certain physical objects are not perfect. For example, I had a brand new microwave and my little cousin but tin foil in it and as a result there are black burn marks inside. When I clean it, the everything is perfectly clean and white, expect the burn marks. I then get frustrated and upset.

Another bigger example is as a result of a sexual assault I got ******* warts and had them treated…..I have a deformed outer *****….and it makes me physically sick to look at it. I remember how before my vaginal area was “perfect.” However, I know deep down that it does not matter becuase I am not sexually active and don’t plan to have *** until marriage. And my husband probably won’t be examing my ******** anyway and if he loves me he won’t care. Yet, I still get so depressed thinking about it.

I also had a beautiful antique table and accidentally left a wet rag on it. It removed the finish in a small circle and the table just isn’t the same to me. It is not perfect.

Also, I picked up 5 pamphlets from my counslers office on various topics. I was certain to make sure they were all kept like-new as I was reading them. Because they are all in a set, it would bother me if one was damaged and not the others. However, if an item, such as a book/pamphlet is not in a set, then I don’t mind if it gets minor damage such as bent corners. However, when it is in a set, it has to be perfect.

Also, when I see a row of pamphelts (for example, at the doctors office) I am compelled to grab all of them. It just feels “incomplete” if I don’t gather one. I think “what if there is some valuable information or product that I am missing” I always do this quickly because I am embarassed if the doctor sees me grabbing so many pamphlets.

I think I have “all or nothing” thinking when it comes to damaged objects. The microwave is worthless and so is the antique table because they are damaged. And logically I know that they still have a ltof worth and probably my guests won’t see the mark on the table bc I ccover it with a decorative object, yet it still bothers me.

PLEASE HELP. What is the name of my conditon? Is it OCD? How do I cure myself? I am sick of being depressed about my ********.
