      Promoting An Item
                               

      Hi :) This is my first post ever. I have a question. Is it worth promoting individual items, auction or fixed 8% or more/less? I have lots of old things and no idea how to price them. So auctioning them off real cheap. I'm not getting many views and my items, I think are worth more then what I list them for. I'm starting to cancel my fixed price items and group them together then turn them into auctions for them to sell. So what is the best way to get noticed and more traffic without losing money like I did when I had a store? Another question I have +1000 more items, how do I get a free quick appraisal if any for diffent items? is there such a thing?

      Not as Described, Return or Keep? Help Valuing Royal Worcester Tiffany Ewer.
                                       

      Needing some expertise on this item. Was recently purchased and the Seller’s description is not accurate with regard to condition, wondering if the error significantly decreases its value, or if it is still valuable enough to keep as-is. Royal Worcester for Tiffany Ewer with dark green backstamp. Purchased for $140 incl. tax and shipping.   Looks as though the bottom was cracked and then somehow re-glazed and painted over at some point in time? Typically the 1867-1890 dark green RW backstamps have the Capital letter underneath the symbol to represent the manufacture year, but you can see this is partially covered now also, so it’s hard to confirm exact year (possibly ‘U’ or ‘V’?).   (Seller’s description stated - “It is in excellent condition with no chips cracks or repairs there are a few smudges as shown.”)

      Princess Diana Beanie Baby
                       

      I recently inherited a first edition Princess Diana Beanie Baby still in the packaging. It is the one from Oakbrook, Illinois. Despite my best efforts I cannot seem to determine if it is of any value. There seems to be one edition that is sought after and one that is not. Does anyone have advice or knowledge on this topic? Thank you to anyone who helps!

      Is an appraisal for a piece of jewelry really what you could expect to sell it for?
