Antiques & collectibles: say what exactly you’re looking for

Antiques and collectibles in Malaysia

Updated 11 November 2026

In Malaysia an old coin is listed at about RM 48, an antique necklace from RM 43 to RM 61, an antique clock from RM 183 to RM 1,201, and a porcelain or carved piece from RM 542 to RM 9,732, according to sellers' websites in November 2026. The price depends on age, condition and origin, so the quickest way to current offers is a request on BlaBlaPrice.

Age, condition and your rights

Malaysian sale of goods law sets implied conditions and warranties for goods, and it applies to sales between businesses as well as to private buyers. Some shops still say "no warranty, no return", a clause that consumer groups criticise, so ask for the return terms in writing before you pay. Ask the seller for the age, the origin and any restoration or repair, and get the answers in writing.

Storage in a hot, wet climate

Malaysia has no winter or summer. It is hot and wet for much of the year, and November falls in the rainy part of the season. Wood, paper and books suffer in damp, so ask how the piece was stored and whether it shows signs of damp or insects before you agree a price. After delivery, keep it in a dry room with airflow.

Delivery and the price of a piece

Prices are in ringgit, and you should ask whether the price includes packing and delivery. Give the size in centimetres and the weight in kilograms, because a clock or a sculpture costs more to move than a coin. Name your city, whether Kuala Lumpur, George Town, Johor Bahru, Ipoh or Shah Alam or another place, so the delivery is quoted for your address.

What to write in your request

Name the kind of item and its period: antique furniture, a clock, a coin, a painting, an art object or a rare book. Add the age, the material, the dimensions, the condition and any marks or signatures. Attach a photo, which helps sellers judge the condition, and give your budget in RM.

Describe the piece in your own words on BlaBlaPrice and add a photo. The AI reads the request, asks for missing details such as the age and condition, and looks through sellers' websites and price lists in Malaysia, then shows the prices and businesses it found. Sellers registered on BlaBlaPrice reply in the chat with their own offer, and your contacts stay hidden until you choose whom to contact. Buying through BlaBlaPrice is free.
