I was gifted genuine Elvis Presley tickets several years back and was wondering how much they’re worth now?

(6) Late 1990s Porn Tapes, any value or trash?

Inherited this piece and it's very difficult to find more information as apparently paintings are less common?

Hi everyone ,

I started purchasing decor for our home and recently picked up this blanket that I was in love with. I’m scared that I overpaid , but I just thought it was an incredible piece , so even if I did over pay, I’m totally fine with it. Here is a short description for the piece.

“Rare Galician blanket , circa 1930s, around 95 years old . Handwoven with a linen warp and hand spun, natural dyed wool, cochineal red and oak-leaf tostado using a traditional repaso technique , prizes for its rhythmic geometric patterning , and once widely practiced across rural Galicia . Finished with red poms , a signature detail of xinzo de-limia (ourenese ) , this piece stands as an example of a vanishing textile tradition with deep regional roots. “

So how did I do?

Picked up on bulk trash night. Labeled Hartan. I don’t know anything else about it. Is it worth anything?

Sorry for the creepy photos but it kind of matches the haunted stroller vibes anyway TBH

Seems to be a signed photo of Bette Davis from between 1940-1960! Is this rare?

I visited a garage sale in rural Ohio where I bought lots of vintage items. I got this

one because I could tell by the frame it was old, but when I went to take a look inside I saw this photo! It’s not in great shape but it is OLD!

Old piece I picked up from a very eclectic antique store. Probably in the early '80s. No idea artist or provenance. One of my favorite pieces. ​Any info appreciated.

It is still functional. One antenna is damaged, a knob is broken and the power cord is missing (it can still run on batteries though).

I tried to sell it and offers ranged from 30€ to 150€. Checking eBay some people sell it for 1000€ (with no defects of course). I got sceptical and declined every offer and here I am.

The defects can easily be fixed for ~25 to 30€.

Does anyone know how much this is actually worth?

Found a sandwich bag full of these at a garage sale and thought they were cool. All marked “Leonore Doskow Handmade Sterling”. I have found a lot of information on the artist, but all I’ve found on these shakers was an old catalog selling on eBay. In the catalog it’s listed as “No.6379 Pepper Shaker”. I’ve searched for a few days and still can’t find information or listed/sold pepper shakers. If anyone has a good feel for the value I would really appreciate it.

BTW, each one is 20g of Sterling.

Thanks!

Ever since I’ve found this I’ve tried image searching it, asking AI, and I’ve found zero matches ( at least with “PRECISION” on the case. Is this rare?

Does anybody know what it’s worth, how old it is And maybe where it’s made?

Arcade Asteroids machine. I've had it since about 1985.

How much this chandelier is worth ? I found it in a small shop. The asking price is 800$ my wife is obsessed with it and im not sure if its worth this much or not. Chat GPT thinks 150 to 500. If you have any idea what style it is, where i can find similar items, let me know please. Thank you!

Put this in the comments of another post and was requested to make its own!

I found this in Middle Tennessee!

Any idea what this could be worth? I can't find it on ebay. Looks like the brand is Kunst or Bauaria?

Getting a mix of prices when I search just looking for a more concrete answer

my mom got it from a thrift store a long time ago bc she thought it was old and copper

I’ve had this large wooden Guanyin statue for years that I originally bought from an antique dealer. At the time I was told it was 17th century and from Thailand, but I never verified that.

Recently, during a move, the lips fell off and revealed another set of painted lips underneath. That made me realize the piece has multiple paint layers, likely from different periods.

Details:

Carved wood core

Painted surface over what looks like a gesso/plaster layer

Significant age-related wear: cracking, flaking, losses

Seated in a relaxed pose (one arm resting on the knee)

Dimensions: approx. 5’11” tall, 3’6” wide, 3 feet deep

From what I’ve learned so far, it may actually be more in line with Chinese “Water-Moon Guanyin” figures rather than Thai, and possibly later than 17th century—but I’m not sure.

I’m not planning to sell it, but I want to:

Get a realistic sense of value

Decide how much to insure it for

Figure out if professional conservation is worth the cost

Questions:

Rough value range in this condition?

Does the condition (paint loss, cracks, repairs) significantly impact value?

Does this look like something genuinely old vs a later decorative piece?

Would conservation typically increase, decrease, or not affect value in cases like this?

Happy to provide more photos if helpful. Thanks for any insight.
