How To Research and Value Your Items
When an expert or professional appraiser is not available to you, the internet can be extremely useful in researching and valuing your antique and vintage items. To identify a piece, we often use Google Lens, which is essentially an image search engine. The website Worthpoint is a great resource for identifying and valuing pieces, although it does require a subscription. Replacements.com is also a great free resource for identifying and valuing glassware and china.
Once you uncover what your items are, you can then go on to price them. When pricing your antique and vintage items, please keep in mind that you are looking at resell prices, not retail prices. Resell prices are what sellers can charge, while retail prices are what the shops can charge. Shops have to be able to make a profit on the item (however small), and are not able to purchase items from sellers at retail prices. Once you discover the value of the item, you can then go on to research how much that item or similar items have sold for. Ebay is a fabulous free resource for this, just remember to filter your search results to "sold for" for accurate resell prices.
