You might try this for a video. After you clean out a storage locker, sort thru the stuff that you did not trash or donate. Get it organized and do a video like a package opening video. Show the items that you will sell at flea market, on line, or at auction. Will give us a chance to see best items, and other items that we missed or maybe you missed and found later. Think it would be interesting!

Twisted blue glass, art piece would be nice in a bookcase or on a coffee table/desk------I would buy it. You reject a lot of nice things because the flea market crowds wouldn't be interested-----BUT the glass art could have easily been ebayed. So I'm wondering if you're interests really lie in scrapping -vs- selling stuff since your eyes consistently go straight to metal. The positive environmental impact of scrapping is important & commendable. Maybe working for a scrapper for awhile could clarify your interests & open some doors for you. You are already part of the reclamation stream. Maybe a bigger roll?

At the last auction, a telephone chair did go for a bit of money. I go for the dollar items, entire sets of retro china... Star Glow, Homer Laughlin Fleur d Lis, etc for a dollar.

I don't think the framed jigsaw puzzle is going to have anything behind the backing paper. If someone is going to buy it as framed art, they may not be happy to find the back paper cut in any way. Finding hidden treasures is most likely with fairly old framed items that had the backing attached by the owner. That framing job looks professional and a framing shop is never going to hide something behind a picture. Many professional framing jobs have the name of the business that did the work. Most people don't do that much detail work like the matting by themselves at home because it requires tools and equipment that as a rule only are found in framing shops. It is a nice piece.
