(Part 2) Best products from r/whatsthisworth

Here's a sealed box of 36 packs for $90. So, not really valuable at all

That's still a pretty neat find. I wonder why there was a random unopened pack of cards there. I could never resist opening them.

Honestly... I'd buy this

Take photos

Unless you trust the person your giving it to.

I wouldn't go to a pawnshop because usually their not trained as well as a watch repair or jewelery place

Doesn't appear to be too extensive, but it's going to bring down the price quite a bit due to the fact that it appears (from a quick google search) this book is pretty common.

Check it out at Amazon

Not old. Looks like these are all Splendid Music Box Co. products. Designed by the New York-based company and produced in Japan. http://splendidmusicbox.com/about/

Looks like this designer's pieces retail anywhere from $70something to $200something.

Handbag is the same shape/model but different elements as this one currently on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Tapestry-Handbag-Musical-Jewelry-Box/dp/B075H38TWJ/

It's a fairly nice guitar. Here it is on Amazon and Here is the guitar product page.

Very little unfortunately

It's a bummer too, I used to collect bb cards back then and always wanted one of those Ken Griffeys but couldn't afford it as a kid. Now they're just slightly more valuable then the cardboard they're printed on.

There is a fair chance it isn't an antique at all, quite a few places sell this type of antiqued purse.

No problem! I enjoy the research. I'm actually a female brunette myself so I have the Playboy Brunettes book and Gwen Wong is in it. It's neat because I don't think most of the women in the paintings were well known if at all.

Tough call on framing. Most people won't want to frame it themselves so that would make it less appealing. But it is also a cost to you. Since it's velvet you don't want them under glass really. I'd just weigh what it would cost you to frame them versus what you want to sell them for. Personally I would try to find an appropriate frame in a thrift store or antique store and then take it to the professionals.

Youre missing that it's machine stitched, which means it cant be any earlier than late 19th century to begin with, so talking about the fabric is unnecessary.

If you need a good textile history reference, I recommend starting with this: https://www.amazon.com/Textiles-America-1650-1870-Florence-Montgomery/dp/039373224X

You got a really bad deal, and I am starting to question how out of touch the users in this subreddit are. I would have expected at least $100 from a used game store.

Amazon trade-ins (assuming no boxes/manuals/"acceptable" condition):

NES Games:

• Tecmo Superbowl: $13.09 (I bet not many people realized this is the most valuable of the NES games he had)
  
• Castlevania: $11.86
  
• Super Mario bros. 3: $9.81
  
• Final Fantasy: $7.67
  
• Ghost and Goblins: $5.89
  
• Ninja Gaiden: $4.53
  
• Blades of Steel: $2.39
  
• Double Dragon: $1.33
  
• Pro Am: $0.87
  
• Skate or Die: $0.87
  
  Genesis games:
  
  
• Road Rash II: $2.85
  
• Altered Beast: $1.43
  
• Mortal Kombat: $0.87
  
• Jurassic Park: $0.87
  
• Sonic the Hedgehog 2: $0.87
  
  
  Amazon consoles/controllers trade-ins:
  
  
• Sega Genesis I Console: $3.12
  
• 2 x Sega Genesis Game Controllers Model #1650: $2.12
  
• 2 x NES controllers: $1.80
  
  
• Total = $71.31
  
  So if you clicked all those links, accepted Amazons TOS and mailed them a box with all that stuff they would have given you $71.31. Note that they don't accept NES consoles for trade-ins by themselves, although bundles of NES consoles with the 3 Mario games or with Duck Hunt and the zapper they will trade in for around $100. Some of the Genesis games I couldn't identify. Some of the Genesis games are somewhat valuable but Amazon isn't accepting trade-ins. Here are what the minimum asking price is for the following games:
  
  Amazon Genesis games:
  
  
• Castlevania bloodlines: $46.36
  
• Shining Force: $33.00
  
• Rocket Knight Adventures: $15.49
  
• Top Gear 2: $9.64
  
• Shining in the Darkness: $7.99
  
• Sword of Vermillion: $5.87
  
  With those games and the NES console I would have expected a used game store to give around $100 for everything. Of course if you don't mind waiting (and waiting) and shipping and posting you could get a least a few hundred.

$15 then. Good eye.

People are mistaking faceted jewel grade sapphires with carved sapphires. This likely is a carved blue sapphire, likely even a natural stone, though possibly heat treated to intensify the blue colour. The value is in the metal used in the setting and in the quality of the carving.

As a comparison, here are 6 natural carved sapphires for $95 usd. The carving is quite crude.
Here is a larger Buddha set in gold for $795CAD

certainly appears in the style, if not more reductive. there is a signature in the top right corner. "Aden?" hard to tell.

could be another Modigliani Scandal.

This looks like it! However, these are listed as new

Looks like this...

Probably not a lot, since they are all in this book now. Cool scrapbook though. I would have probably bought it myself.

You're going to need one of these antennas.

As well as this power cord.
