EBay, Collectors, Flea Market & Antiques

So many people want to move on household goods. Long lost receipts, no idea know what they paid for any items. People who never had a yard sale or are not in business would also be stung.

I've been in my house for 53 years and have much that I wanted to sell. Since most was bought in the 1980's or early 1900's, the receipts are long gone. I don't even know where I bought most of it. Lots of things like kitchenware, linens, dinner service(I know what I paid for it about 1980 but the receipt is long gone.) How about the inlaid dining room table I paid $2000 for, no receipt. With the disappearance of Antique shops in my area, I'd be lucky for find a dealer to buy it at any price. Most have closed or have no extra funds.
Like most of us, my receipts may prove what I paid if I had them. Remember...the IRS said you could dispose of all old tax records(including receipts) after 3 years.

I'd consign some of my better items but they take 50% of the selling price, if they will even accept them.
We're all screwed with this piece of genius legislation.
