SOVIET GOLD SALES on eBay - March 2014

4/26/2014

March has been a good month for the Soviet Gold Jewelry Market. We saw a lot of high, medium and low sales take place on eBay. There is a definite demand for these unique historic collectibles in the upper and lower class. It seems everyone wants to enter this new and highly profitable market.

In this report only 15 sales are shown, however we estimate, the total amount of Soviet Gold items sold this month on eBay would exceed 100 jewelry pieces. An interesting fact, almost half of these sales took place in United States. Without any doubt, the flow and trade of Soviet gold jewelry in the West is expanding.

SOVIET GOLD SALES IN UKRAINE - Prices are stable amidst severe inflation

4/24/2014

0 Comments

Despite massive inflation, civil war and collapsing economy, the Soviet gold jewellery market in Ukraine - is persevering! USSR watches, rings, earrings, chains, etc, are being bought and sold all over the country, even in the most Western regions like Lviv, where the dislike for everything Soviet and Russian is all times high. Non the less, gold is gold and money is money.

While the Ukrainian hryvnia is loosing value rapidly, and inflation is continuing to get worse, the prices on Soviet jewelry have remained stable, not changing much since this crisis began. Certainly, with nationwide unemployment and civil unrest many people are left without jobs and savings, resulting in higher sales of jewellery items (many of which are of Soviet origin). Still, much to our surprise, prices that are being paid for these historic collectibles have remained unchanged. We believe that's because just as many Ukrainians are actually buying Soviet gold in order to save their money from inflation. This is resulting in an increased demand for gold jewelry from USSR, despite the influx of such items on the Ukrainian market. Once again all of this only proves that Soviet gold and silver jewelry is an investment that can withstand, not just a crisis but a civil war - without loosing its value!

WE BOUGHT A RARE SOVIET SILVER SHOT GLASS

4/8/2014

0 Comments

✦ WE LEAD BY EXAMPLE WE BUY SOVIET SILVER ✦

Soviet silver jewellery has been on a sharp rise. Prices are growing steadily, in so attracting more investors and collectors than ever before. Soviet silverware is at the forefront of that growth. That is why we are not only promoting these unique "money making" collectibles, but are investing our own money in them as well. One of our latest purchases is the rare Soviet silver shot glass displayed above. It is rare for two reasons, one - its age, and two - its hallmarks. Both characteristics make it a very desired rarity.

We predict that in the near future these type of items will be worth thousands of dollars. How sure are we about it - very sure. We are already seeing a clear trend of growing prices, specifically on USSR vodka shot glasses. Currently they are priced between $100 and $300 dollars per glass. Considering the speed with which Soviet jewelry has been growing in the past years, a $1000-3000 dollars per glass price-range is a very real possibility. Take a look at the following sales that are taking place on eBay right now:

eBay item number: 161040131878

Some Western investors, especially those that are not familiar with this market, have expressed concerns to us that the recent rivalry between United States and Russia can impact the Soviet jewelry market. They are absolutely right, however that impact is for the better. We are clearly seeing this new trend.

The more Russia is in the news, the more valuable Soviet gold and silver jewelry become. We expect that this trend will continue and that prices on jewelry made in USSR will rise even further. With this said, we advice all collectors, investors and jewelry buyers to perform your own research and invest in this new market.
