DB1000 Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 I have 3 batches like this. I just listed one on CL for 175.00. Almost all iron items with some brass, ceramic etc. Priced too low? Too high? Going to be getting rid of all my old finds soon. Any ideas, opinions are good to hear. Thanks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any ideas, There are some museums that may go even higher than you think for artifacts in good condition. They may even give you a great tax write-off if you work with them. Try some of those before posting on CL. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post dogodog Posted January 20, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 20, 2021 I'm thinking your a lot high. I mean no disrespect by that but, Most people who would buy that stuff would probably be using it for craft items. Which leads me to this thought. I'm not sure if you have any woodworking skills, But maybe you could arrange some of the finds on a nice old barn board and sell it as a decoration/display. In the past I have made coffee tables and framed story boxes. This requires a little more skill to do but you can get much more money for those junk finds. Some ideas attached. Good Luck 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At some of the "Antique Stores" around here what you are showing goes for almost $90.00 each with some others much higher. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvpopeye Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 I wonder if any antique shops would like one of those made with bottle caps and pull tabs ?? I could "clean up" twice as often ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only if they were over 50-72 years old, and yes I have seen a couple of them for sale. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
