Other tutorials I have: worst sites for researching the value of your antiques. This is important because most people will automatically go to these sites. The first sites that you're always going to see on Google are going to be the ones where they're actually selling you a product, because otherwise what's the benefit of them showing their product? They don't want to just give you information, they want to sell. So that's the first ones you're going to see. 2 of the biggest examples are 1stdibs and Etsy, high retail sites. And those sites are great if you're looking to buy something and you have an unlimited budget, they're great. But if you're trying to research how much you're gonna actually get for your items, how much cash you're gonna get in your pocket, what it might sell for at auction, it's not the place. These are high retail sites. Please subscribe so you don't miss any future videos.
