@cybergranny1,
These boards are excellent for things such as policy questions, problems arising with transaction or account (and what to do), and asking for any insight into what a particular item might be โ but it isnโt (and definitely doesnโt pretend to be) a valuation service.
People may offer ideas of what somethingโs worth, in the course of a thread, but those ideas donโt take the place of personal knowledge and research. Obviously if someoneโs trying to sell a particular item thatโs easy to find and buy, and itโs listed for sale at a price way under or over similar or identical items, the comments about that will probably be plentiful! Equally plentiful will be comments that point out a seller can list his/her items at whatever price they want.
But you canโt use eBay community members to give you an informed valuation of collectible items. Thatโs a professional job and it involves seeing items in person and charging a fee.
Itโs also pivotal to have good photos showing clear details of an item if you want just a few suggestions or ideas about that item. Sometimes people will go to the trouble of doing a little bit of research to help out posters who are truly stumped about how to find out anything further. I would never take such help for granted, though. (And good pictures are needed for reverse image searching, s valuable tool for this.)
I am a little puzzled though. In your previous thread about the bottle, you seem to deflect about whether youโll be selling that item on eBay. (I may be wrong. Itโs how it appears and appearances can be misleading.) It made me wonder about what sort of valuation you needed, and I thought you might need to go more down the professional valuation route.
Hopefully you can get a phone with a decent camera function, and then the posters here may at least be able to point you in the right direction for researching these items.
