Real Bargains Found at a Thrift Shop Haul, Antique Mall, Yard Sale and Auction by Dr. Lori

Watch expert Ph.D. Antiques Appraiser Dr. Lori share the stories and real #bargains found at a thrift #shop #haul, antique mall, yard sale and auction. See the painting bought for $1 and resold for twenty one thousand dollars. It was even signed and titled. The thrift store simply missed it. These finds are at Goodwill, on eBay, Etsy and other online auctions and sales too. After watching a thrift with me video, watch expert Dr. Lori show you what your haul is really worth.
Dr. Lori also shows a pair of mid-century modern lamps made in Germany and a ceramic vase which was signed. Both are real bargains found during a thrift store shopping trip and a yard sale haul. Plus, don't miss a wooden marquetry piece found at an antique mall and a real bargain signed Russian lacquer box found when shopping at an auction. More than a plaque, watch to see a signed Bowers relief sculpture found at a thrift shop.
Ask Dr. Lori to appraise your Goodwill thrift shop hauls, paintings, ceramics, and mid-century modern lamps. Attend her antiques appraisal events near you or submit photos on Dr. Lori's website for review.

Dr. Lori, do you have any words or advice for those who are interested in the unlimited appraisals membership but debating if they should get it or not because they have too many objects and feel guilty for putting the workload on you or possibly debating the membership because they have items that they feel won’t be as valuable and maybe like it would be a waste of your time?

Currently, when you subscribe you can make as many submissions as you like. You won't know their value until you submit them for my review. That's what the service is for ... to get my expert eyes on your items. Maybe your pieces will be featured in an upcoming Real Bargains video with your permission of course :)

Great video, thank you :) is the fact that the box had red lacquer on the inside and black lacquer on the outside mean it’s better quality or worth more?

That's not the only reason (red/black). You have to look for quality. I know everyone wants one answer that fits all, but finding valuables doesn't work that way. Pick a few types of pieces (lacquer boxes) and focus on knowing everything you can learn about them. Then, only shop for those pieces. You'll find bargains that way :)
