I will tell you what I know about what you have. When I don't know something, (which is OFTEN), I will find out for you and tell you when I do know.

However, when I ATTEND an Estate Sale, Garage Sale, Flea Market, Antique Shop, Thrift Shop, etc. I DO NOT feel the need to be that honest.

If you put a price on an item, you are telling me that THAT is what you want for that item. If you feel that you know what you are doing and end up "give away" something for pennies on the dollar because you didn't do your homework - SHAME ON YOU!

MY thoughts...

Absolutely agree.
