Antique dealers, buyers and appraisers will see a wide array of offerings from the industry’s leading provider of integrated storefront and live auction selling services at the Atlantique City antiques show in Atlantic City, N.J., Oct. 15-16 at the convention center.

Columbus, Ohio-based GoAntiques.com (www.GoAntiques.com) will demonstrate its services from booth 1891 at the industry's largest antique show.
"GoAntiques.com is the largest virtual marketplace for art, antiques and collectibles," said Jim Kamnikar, president and chief executive officer. "We offer antique dealers an integrated, one-stop solution for storefront and live auction selling plus a host of marketing services for dealers, buyers and antique enthusiasts alike."

GoAntiques.com offers over 400,000 items from more than 1,800 dealers in 29 countries. GoAntiques.com logs more than 2 million visits and thousands of transactions each month. More than 100,000 people are registered as GoAntiques.com buyers. Regularly scheduled live auctions on GoAntiques.com are held in conjunction with eBayLiveAuctions.com.

Over the past 10 years, GoAntiques.com has developed a distribution network providing art, antiques and collectibles to major Web e-commerce destinations such as AOL Shopping, Yahoo Shopping and BobVila.com. GoAntiques.com also offers a Wholesale Channel for member dealers looking to sell and source quality merchandise at wholesale prices.

And for the first time at Atlantique City, GoAntiques.com will demonstrate PriceMiner (www.PriceMiner.com), a powerful proprietary Internet tool that aggregates pricing information from a variety of internationally recognized sources. By simply keying in attributes of the item you wish to buy, sell or value, PriceMiner performs a search through more than 20 million prices and presents historical selling prices for the same or similar items.

"PriceMiner is the first product to combine historical data from multiple external sources with GoAntiques.com's vast archive of merchandise sales information," Kamnikar said. "Antiques professionals and consumers will find PriceMiner to be an unparalleled pricing knowledge tool and identification guide for accurately assessing the value of antique and collectible merchandise and for learning price averages and ranges."
In addition to GoAntiques.com's historical price information, PriceMiner includes auction results from the vast eBay® historical database and online storefront sales provided by TIAS.com.

Search and sort criteria include price range, category, sale date, data source and currency, with the later being conveniently converted to dollars.
Other PriceMiner features include:
· More than 10 million photos to allow visual comparison and accurate identification with the item you are pricing.
· The option of saving individual searches for later reference.
· Links to merchandise for sale that match the search criteria.
· No-cost use for GoAntiques.com member dealers.
· Convenient subscription program for non-GoAntiques.com members.
In addition, a mobile version of PriceMiner that works on hand-held devices such as SmartPhones and PDAs is now available. This allows subscribers to ascertain the value of antiques and collectibles—right in the palm of their hand—as they attend auctions or browse through shows and shops with wireless access.

A custom version of PriceMiner is also available to public and private libraries.

An affiliate referral program is available that includes providing PriceMiner directly from e-commerce Web sites.
