Now when it comes to
refinishing, ........ whatever turns your crank.
But when it comes to
selling ........ you have to decide what your best market is.
And in all my years of "junk dealing" I have never met or ever heard of a "
collector of mirrors". But now if any of you have, please enlighten me.
My experience has also taught me that people don't go to Antique shops, flea markets, garage sales, etc., specifically for the purpose of buying a mirror
unless they are looking for a specific mirror frame (refinished or not, with or without the mirror in it) for a replacement for a missing or broken one for a piece of furniture they own.
Mirrors are "
decorator items" and are mostly purchased on "
spur-of-the-moment" decisions. And the better that mirror looks the better those potential buyers can visualize what it will look like hanging on a wall in their home or business.
Un-refinished, 5+-% of your customers will "look it over".
Refinished, 80+-% of your customers will "look it over". People like to look at themselves in good looking mirrors, ya know. Especially the females.
