Hi fellows

I'm detecting in some neighboorhood looking for relics in order to sell it. My problem is I don't know how to find out the real value of any relic found. Can you help me?

Well, at least you're honest... ha ha.
Relics are generally not a big business unless you find something really amazing. Check EBay for real-life prices. Most relics are a few dollars at best.
IMO... do this for fun and do something else for money.

What kind of relics are you assuming you will find? Mayan gold or dinky cars or? Might help with your question.

The "real" value is whatever someone will pay for it. You won't know until you get an offer. I sell my stuff on CL.

As MarkDz says check completed listings on Ebay.

this way you will at least know what someone was willing to pay.

Also check Active listings for Buy Now prices to see what sellers think they can get.

But also remember your talking Dug Relics, verses maybe mint condition or Close Relics.
