I buy/sell antiques, from marbles up to furniture, at our local antique
mall in town. I don't normally get marbles, but jars of old marbles are >usually are popular. Not nearly that expensive locally.
How sad that the gorgeous dining room set only sold for $240... Things
don't sell for much locally, but I could have gotten more money than
that if I put the set up for sale in the basement of the antique mall!
(huge furniture room).
I would have jumped on that set in a heartbeat, for my own personal use.
I have a much more simple late 60's matching hutch, buffet, table, and
6 chairs in my dining room... half of the chairs need to be repaired
(where's a wood worker when you need one..? heh), but I didn't pay a
dime for the set -- I just had to haul it out of a vacant rental house.

Old pianos are often free-for-the-taking.

There was an upright piano in my family for 4 generations.
We put it on Craigslist for free and it was gone the next day.

My niece, 9 or 10 at the time, was an unusually gifted musician, could play almost any instrument, including the drums, learning by ear and teaching herself. She often spoke of wanting a piano. I bought an upright (in good shape) at the State

Antiques sell for about nothing here. Many antique stores have gone
under and there are only a few left. I think the last of the "mall"
style went under a few years ago. There wasn't anything in them that
was worth buying, IMO. Everything was pretty well beat up and so dry
that it was a fire hazard - about its only use. My wife was into
antiquing but gave it up because she didn't see anything worth buying
for a long time.

We have two antique malls on main street (a third closed during
the pandemic). Picked up a nice walnut table the other day
along with a couple of history books published in 1900 covering
the first hundred years of the republic. They seem to be doing
fine.

California was a republic in 1800? I thought it was more recent than that.
