<p>[QUOTE="Lis, post: 9814620, member: 81691"]That's a great idea for displaying them, thanks! We do look up a lot of vintage or collectable items on eBay, it's such a helpful tool for this, but the more specialty stuff - like the vases or 1850s platter I posted the other day - or stuff like this where we think we know what we're looking at, but we're just not quite knowledgeable to be confident in it, we like to double check with people who know more, just to make sure we're not letting something go for $5 that's worth $50 or $150. (Unfortunately, we have had that happen, so we try to be more careful.) And sometimes we just don't know enough to even know what to search on eBay - sometimes an image search can help, but adding a year or maker can sometimes change the value of an item so much.</p><p>Thank you so much for all your advice this week, I can't express how much help it has been![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
