[QUOTE="SeaGoat, post: 10208684, member: 1136"]I help run estate sales and we definitely use Google lens on some things because there are just some things you don't know.. I'll do my best to research the item, what they've sold for, then we'll usually go under, up to half off that price. You also have to know the area, just because a MCM piece sold for $1000 online, it might not ever bring $500 in Small Town, USA. My boss owns several antique stores and knows a majority of clients are resellers, so he tries to be fair to them, the family, and his profits. It's a balancing game.. I find I have to fluff my booth with wholesale items to make it look home-y and complete, but even wholesale stock has skyrocketed :blackeye:[/QUOTE]
