Antiques & Souvenirs Price Guide

Note: Estimates only. No Cat Street vendor publishes a price list and no official body publishes ranges, so these are working estimates rather than surveyed prices. Treat every number as an opening ask, not a sale price.

Bargaining Tips

  • Start low. The 40-60-80 rule we publish elsewhere holds here too: offer about 40% of the asking price, expect to settle near 60%, and treat 80% as the ceiling unless the piece is exceptional.
  • Walk away if the price doesn't move — vendors often call you back.
  • Buying multiple items from the same stall often gets a better deal.
  • Established galleries on Hollywood Road typically have fixed prices.
