Ok. Thank you very much!
Having been raised in a home with antiques and 2 antique-lovers/auction-goers for parents, I've always known not to mess with them too much. About the only thing I do is clean, and I research several sources before doing that.
It makes me sick to think of the items...
*See previous response on other thread* LOL
Do they charge for that? I'm betting so. We don't have anyone like Sotheby's here (I don't think).
Also, would the price change if it's cleaned up? The reason I ask is that I have a lot of items and a little money. I don't want to pay for each...
Question: How do you all come to an asking price on your vintage items?
I always search online, but that's often a bust. If the maker has gone out of business, I'm pretty much out of luck. The likelihood of finding, for example, the exact pair of cufflinks that I have for sale is miniscule...

The price for that watch is $125.
I priced mine at $100...
Figured out the attachment system, so here's the watch I wrote about:
Asking: $100
It's an open face Knickerbocker, and on the inside it says: 7 jewels, Double Roller, Safety Barrel Y. On the inside of the removed back is: Illinois Watch Case Co., ELGIN USA. Guaranteed 10 Years, Supreme...
LOL Man, this is a lot of work. I have my sister's camera so am getting used to it and retaking endlessly. Plus trying to find these items or similar ones on the internet so I have a clue what to ask pricewise. Plus transferring the pics to another site. Just lots more details than I expected. I...
Thanks for the welcome!
Here's the link to my favorite jewelry marks site:

It probably has more than jewelry - that's all I was looking for when I discovered it so I didn't look further.
Biggest question right now is: How do I attach...
Hi,
I just discovered this fun site today. I was doing a search for pocket watches and was linked to here, so I figured it might be a good place to try and sell one which I believe belonged to either my grandfather or father, or quite likely, both.
[edit: I just realized I'd forgotten to...
