<p>[QUOTE="808 raver, post: 10208000, member: 4654"]Very good points made, I don't have online photos of every antique I own but I did do all that I have and the results were about 95% recognised by Lens. Yes there were some described wrong but for every one described wrong there were at least 3 describing them right. At boot fares and markets people with knowledge will always win out but most of my hunting is done online. I've already seen a drop in bargains, I suspect things will only get worse in the next 2 years, I fear the days of picking something up for a few pounds that worth 100's or 1000's are gone. Only last year I bought a unrecognised table from an auction house, they had taken photos and posted them on facebook, how long before the auction house starts using lens to make sure they don't make that mistake again?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
