Are Longaberger baskets worth anything today?

Longaberger baskets were made in Ohio and sold through home parties, and many families have a closet full. Most sell for modest amounts today because so many were made and bought by collectors at the time, and demand dropped after the company declined. Many common baskets sell for far less than their original price.

The ones that hold value better tend to be limited editions, early baskets, special event and collector club baskets, and unusual shapes or sizes, especially in clean condition with their original liners, protectors and lids. Look at the bottom for the signature, date and stamp, and keep any paperwork or product cards.

Condition matters: broken weaving, stains, mildew or missing pieces lower value. Check sold prices for the exact basket name and year, and be realistic. A large collection is often easiest to sell in a group at an estate sale or local auction, where buyers who still collect them can find them.
