Internet Auction Sellers

Whether you are an internet auction buyer, seller or just a lurking observer, what gets your attention?

For me, it's a great photo of the item up for grabs!

If you're a seller, scanner photography may be just what you're looking for. You don't have to be a professional photographer (or hire one) to get those great close-up shots! And a great close-up shot will bring you better bids!

This is a ceramic vase ... placed directly on the glass of my flatbed scanner and scanned.

Bamboo vase is 12" high and 3 1/4" each side.

Because it is square, it was easy to place.

The bottom of the same vase is shown here - - see how easy it is to read the mark.

Small Items?

For me, very small items were the most difficult to capture with a camera. Now, it's a breeze.


Netsuke is just under 2 inches tall.	Notice the detail on the bottom.	Tiny teapot is 3 1/2 inches tall.

Next time you plan to sell on at an auction, use you flatbed scanner for better, higher bids!
