Found a Website, But I'm Not Sure About Prices Sign In/Join 
posted
I came across this website last week. www.grannys-house.com. This site had a lot of nice lamp and collectible stuff but I am not sure on the prices. Can anyone tell me if these are good prices for this stuff, so I know its safe to do some buying. The operator of the site gas been adding new stuff every day and it looks like they are clearing out a large collection of different things. I would like to get in on it but I can't find a ton of info on some of the items. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Actually, I was not trying to advertise as much as I was looking for people's actual opinion of the prices on the site. I am new to this and trying to work through a liftime of collectibles stored in my Grandmas house. I have no idea how to price some of the items so i was hoping for some feedback as far as that goes, vut i didn't want it to appear that I was trying to drive traffic to the site. I just don't know where to start! Thanks for any help as it pertains to my post.

So YOU (or someone working with/for you) developed the website and YOU are the operator of the site and YOU are adding new stuff every day...

I agree with flboy that this is advertising.

By searching the web and antique/collectible stores, you can come up with an approximate value of the items you wish to sell without deliberating bending the guidelines posted by HGTV in the left sidebar of your screen.

Sherry,

Thanks for the insight. We are all entitled to our opinions but I have searched the internet and there is no concise pricing info available on many of the items. Many of the hand painted items are simply not searchable. I was hoping to come across an expert on the message boards that might give me some valuable insight as I find myself ill equipped. Thanks again for replying.


Jerry
