Here are some more information for Collectibles Chinese:
Fake autographs are a serious problem on the Internet. The industry's leading autograph authenticator, PSA-DNA, claims that only 33 percent of more than 10,000 Tiger Woods and Michael Jordan autographs it scrutinized were real. That means more than 6,600 of the 10,000 signatures PSA-DNA sampled were forgeries.
eBay is a prime place to sell fake autographs because they are easy to pass off as authentic. Typically, the dishonest seller provides an image of the autographed sports memorabilia and a description. To the uninformed buyer, the signature looks authentic.
Some bogus dealers even trick customers by providing a Certificate of Authenticity (usually from their own company) and a 100% satisfaction guarantee.
Most buyers can't distinguish between an authentic autograph and a phony one, noting that viewing a scan of the autograph only benefits experienced authenticators.
Certificates given customers to build their confidence often are designed on personal computers by the scam artist. Meanwhile, the guarantee is in place to promote a false sense of security.
If a customer couldn't tell an autograph was fake by looking at an online picture, he or she likely isn't going to recognize a forgery when it's received in the mail.
Not even a lack of negative customer feedback on eBay is a guarantee that what has been shipped isn't fraudulent. Johns says dealers of fake items have an endless supply on hand and ship orders quickly to create the appearance of legitimacy.
Many buyers don't learn an item is fake until they send it in to be authenticated or until someone experienced in autograph collecting and familiar with sports memorabilia informs them.
Seller feedback is a smoke-screen for a fake eBay autograph dealer. Most usually maintain a very positive feedback level.
Although the FBI put more 60 people in jail a few years ago for dealing and distributing fake autographs, the dealers who sold on eBay all had excellent feedback records.
All I have to do is go into any sports category on eBay and I can find at least one new seller per day selling fake autographs.
BlogForSports.com recently listed a questionable seller on eBay who was stealing images from legitimate auctions and listing them as his own. The seller then sent an item to the buyer that was similar to the item in the stolen picture.
A few days after this article was posted on the blog, Johns says, a victim of the fraudulent seller explained, I thought I did my homework I read his feedback but the item I got didn't look anything like the item in the eBay auction.
The full story and a warning about the seller are available at the BlogForSports.com site.
Johns says the blog was created to help prevent unsuspecting customers from buying fake autographs. The goal is to educate people on how legitimate companies obtain autographs, so customers don't fall into the trap of buying fakes.
When a new sports memorabilia customer buys fake autographs they become disenchanted with the whole industry. This hurts the reputable dealers in the business and it hurts the hobby in general.
The blog includes photographs of fake items, comparisons to known authentic autographs and helpful hints on how experts determined the item was questionable.
Kelly Johns started ALLAuthentic.com in 1998 by selling online out of his garage. Since then ALLAuthentic.com has grown to be one of the largest, most reputable sports memorabilia companies on the Internet -- they are also an Official Licensee of the National Football League.

What is Chinese Medicine?
There are different interpretations of what Chinese medicine is. There are those who see it as an alternative medicine, especially when associated with acupuncture. China and Taiwan look to traditional Chinese medicine as an important part of their healthcare system. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) was coined in the 1950s as a term to collectively refer to what was exported as "Chinese medicine".
Today traditional Chinese medicine means that which entails the Chinese theories, diagnosis and treatment of individuals using traditional Chinese herbal medicine, acupuncture, massage and Qigong. Sometimes it is called Oriental medicine or East Asian medicine.
Most who practice TCM believe that the human body is in constant interaction with the environment. Those that practice TCM can diagnose, understand and treat illness and even prevent it by means of ascertaining disharmony in an individual.
TCM has a theory based on several philosophical believes including the Yin-Yang theory, the Five Elements, the Meridian system, the Zang Fu Organ theory and a few others. These theories or concepts are collectively used to come up with a diagnosis.
It is important when utilizing Chinese herbs that you do so under the guidance of a health professional. You will have questions regarding the preparation, dosage, interactions, when to change formulas, what to do if other symptoms would occur that you may not have expected.
Also learn how long to follow the herbal therapy. All of these questions are best answered by someone how really understands Chinese medicine. Knowing about Chinese medicine is more than just reading an article or book. It takes years of studying to understand not only the book knowledge, but the inner understanding about balance and other Chinese theories.
Formulas are herbal combinations that are specifically designed for an individual based on symptoms, interview and inspection. Formulas are not mass-produced but done one at a time for a specific individual. Formulas are not available in stores or on the Internet. Those practicing Chinese medicine will prescribe a formula that the patient can take to a herbal shop in order to have the formula prepared.
It is recommended that you find a local practitioner to aid you in consultations and treatments instead of traveling great distances to have one consultation with a Chinese practice of notoriety.
Chinese medicine is not an exact science. Treatment varies and has many factors including herbs to be used, dosage, the duration of the treatment and any additional treatment such as acupuncture.
Chinese medicine like many clinics for Western medicine has a way for low-income patients to receive care. Colleges of traditional Chinese medicine offer discounted services because students are there to learn from experience treating patients. Other practitioners often times will offer low cost or sliding scale fees to assist those with lower income to pay for traditional Chinese medicinal care.
Going the distance for care in China:
There are those who desire Chinese medicine and are willing to receive it from those actually practicing in China. There are many obstacles such as the language barrier, travel arrangements, the availability of hotel rooms and the ability of Chinese hospitals to accommodate foreign patients. Certain clinics in China are set up to treat specific diseases and may offer to provide foreign patients with long distance consultations where the patient sends the clinic his/her medical information and the clinic will design and ship the proper herbs for a fee.

I have to agree with Witchnanny, I sold a Kodak "Autographic" camera that I picked up at an estate sale for $10 for $350 on Ebay. It was almost new. Still had the case and instruction book from 1920. Things like really valuable antiques are where ebay shines the most. Whatever the antique, it's really valuable somewhere in the world, and those people will go nuts for it. In the case of my camera, it was sold to an Italian who jumped in at the last minute and was really excited about what he won.
But, if you like, you can hire an Estate Sale Antique specialist to go through your house, price everything and sell it off from your house, but you'd be losing some of your profit to the agent. But the agent would know what your items would actually sell for.
I hope this helps.
