<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Joan, post: 4461060, member: 5398&quot;]KSW&#039;s answer is great....I agree it is a HUGE subject with so many variables that can affect values.</p><p><br /></p><p>Regarding bead &quot;types&quot; are you referring to bead necklaces, loose beads or both--or are you referring to the material such as glass, semi-precious gemstones, plastics/synthetic, etc?&nbsp; If you search each of those types that have sold on eBay you&#039;ll find Chanel and Miriam Haskell usually at the top for glass beads;&nbsp; amber, coral, jade and turquoise for semi-precious beads;&nbsp; and bakelite for plastic beads. If you scroll through all the bead necklaces that have sold on eBay in different categories (sorted from high to low), you&#039;ll get a general idea of what determines value, such as designer/maker, origin, age, design, color, size, weight, etc. If you make a list of key words that you see over and over, and then do searches that include those key words, you&#039;ll get a general idea of what can determine value....at least for items sold on eBay at that point in time. But like KSW said, some of the really high prices might be somehow manipulated. Also keep in mind that some high-priced items may have been returned and sold at a lower price, or not relisted at all.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
