Today the site released their list of the top 20 categories of antiques & collectibles that sold online in February of 2012. The list is not based on volume sold but the total dollar value of items in each category. For those not in the know, TIAS lists over 600,000 items for sale online and serves approximately 700,000 unique visitors each month. About 400 merchants sell through the TIAS system.

The top three items are Vintage Jewelry, Porcelain & Pottery, and Glass. We were pretty excited about the 9th and 10th items on the list: Kitchen Collectibles and Photographica.
