[QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 10207997, member: 51"]It has been the kiss of death for finding treasures at the thrift stores where I live. The pricers in the back of the store, English not required, are instructed by management to Google lens for pricing. I even see sellers using it at garage sales. I have a friend who (like me) is a garage sale addict. He says when he asks about an item at a sale and the seller starts by saying "Well, on Google lens..." he puts up his hand and says, "Stop." More one-of-a-kind pieces like individual pottery, art, etc. will never match well thank goodness, and you just have to hope to luck into something like that. There are still treasures to be found, and maybe like Ruth said, while someone is busy imaging the goldtone jewelry we can walk up and grab the sterling Crown Trifari.[/QUOTE]
