Big dramatic record breaking auctions tend to dominate headlines and set the collectibles world on fire with a buzz. But truth be known, the engine that runs the machine is the auction of interesting yet affordable collectibles that the average person can invest in.

antique cameo and estate jewelry

The Southern California Various Estates auction being run by U.S. Asset Forfeiture & Seizures INC, on November 15th, is one such auction. If you've ever wanted to jump into the world of antique jewelry investing, collectible assets and art, this is an auction which the average person can get their feet wet in.

The starting bids are very reasonable, and the offerings are investment worthy at the right price. The lots consist of antique jewelry and accessories, Victorian glassware, antique furniture and more.

Even dealers and those interested in immediate turnover could benefit from registering for this auction. For example, lot 43 pictured above, billed as an estate bonanza lot described as follows: A collectible miscellany lot of cameos, pins, sweater clips, faux rings, sewing scissors, stick pins, and more!
Start Price : 35.00 | Estimates : 35.00 - 100.00

If you're looking for some alternative investments, ones of which the value will never drop to zero, this may be just the thing for you.  If you register, as with any auction, check for the bidder's premium, taxes and shipping fees as these all affect the final price.

The auction is slated for November 15th, but is available to online bidders now, and in real-time on the day of the auction.

See the slide show below for details and starting bids on some the lots offered.
