How the antique listing price works
Calculate a target listing price for an antique based on your costs, marketplace fees, shipping, and desired profit margin. Start with realistic completed-sale prices and include costs that are easy to overlook. For antiques, condition, authenticity, provenance, maker, rarity, and local demand can matter more than a simple formula.
Include the hidden costs
Shipping, packaging, restoration, platform fees, transport, storage, and your time can change the outcome.
Research before deciding
Use this result as a first pass, then verify marks, condition, comparable items, and current marketplace rules.
Questions people ask
How should I price an antique for sale?
Start with completed comparable sales, then account for condition, provenance, rarity, platform fees, shipping, and the time you will spend selling it.
What is the difference between markup and margin?
Markup is profit divided by cost. Margin is profit divided by the sale price. This tool uses target margin because it reflects the percentage of the final sale you keep.
Should I list above my target price?
Some sellers leave room for offers or negotiation. If you do, make sure the higher price remains realistic for the category and condition.
