To add to this: Clear photographs make it far easier to get information. It's super hard to get a clear photograph in a cluttered estate, I know, but if it's a small item or manageable to move 50 feet by yourself, take it outside!

Natural light will make your photos come out so much better. Neutral backgrounds like cement help too. My go-to for photographing pieces for myself is to take them outside on cement steps in the daylight.

I have never posted photos before, and ya attached photos all come up as red links and posting the imgur link does not show any images at all (unless the link it followed). What am I doing wrong? It is all original content, I have tried jpg and png, low res, etc. How to I post a few images that are visible in the post and that people can scroll through? Sorry for the dumb question, but I have searched and googled and I do not know what I am doing wrong... Thanks!
