Hello, I have always like things...different things for different reasons..beauty...mechanical operation etc. But have never really bought and sold items from any particular collection. However...
I'm an artist and I've had a gallery in the past and it started as just accents and decoration, to have small collections of things...well just before I closed it and moved back here to oregon I started to sell them and it was well received...so I'm looking to open a boutique store/ gallery here. I have 2 or 3 thousand sports trading cards....7 or 8 hundred comics...over 1000 watches...hundreds of pieces of depression glass... cpl hundred full unopened avon bottles...over a hundred vintage music boxes, over 1000 lapel pins...flatware, jewelry etc etc etc...so you get the idea...but trying to find prices has been difficult to say the least...what I'm wondering..are there any price guides out there that are actually usefull...I've looked at a lot and they have a few pictures a few prices and endless pages of personal opinions...are there books that for example list one companies products by year...maybe number made and a price or value range(I know prices vary) but just enough to give you an idea of relative worth...??? Thank you for giving me the opportunity to inquire...my apologies for being so long winded...and any! Help would be very much appreciated...oh not much of an online person I prefer brick and morter and being able to meet people
