I'm selling large things like a tiger oak piano, antique stove, secretary desk, chifforobe, Hoosier cabinet, brass bed, double sided wash station, basically nothing easy to carry or ship.

First get them appraised by a antique dealer who perferably works in a antique auction house and then sell them on e-bay. But first if you want to make sure you are getting a good deal once you get these items appraised is see what the local consignment shop will give you if anything. They do take a proceeds of the sale of the item because they are doing the work of selling these items for you.

You're going to have to arrange shipping of anything you sell on e-bay. The purchaser will pay the freight charges, but it will be a lot of inconvenience for you. You really should find a dealer to give you a good price, or go the consignment shop route if you don't mind waiting for a sale.

Have them professionally appraised first! then decide if they are worth shipping to a good antique auction(like Southebys) or if you want to sell or auction locally. Consignment houses generally want half of the selling price for handling the sale.

I might refrain from selling it on ebay, as chances are many people will not bid what the items are actually worth when taken into consideration that they are antiques. I think you're better off going somewhere nearby where people know what you have to offer. Besides, those items seem as though they would be a pain to ship.
Best of luck!

If there is not a local auction company which specializes in antiques, the best thing to do is offer it at a consignment antique shop.

you're not from now on allowed to promote stay animals on e-bay, so i anticipate the guideline may also note on your mom in regulation. you're also not from now on allowed to promote issues that you do not legally personal, so i anticipate that rule may also note. therefore, no, you could't. Sorry.
