I rarely sell any of the relics I find but I want to buy a new machine so I'm considering selling something to pay for it. But I don't want to get ripped off again. I have what I've been told is a pre war virginia militia clip corner buckle with a soldiers name intricately carved on the front. It was found by me around 1990 about 2 blocks from the Fairfax city courthouse with permission in a construction site. I've seen that buckle advertised online for a few hundred dollars but with the name carved I know it's more valuable. Any ideas on its possible value would be appreciated before I list it. I sold a very rare button to buy my last machine then found out later that the purchaser sold it for twice what he gave me.
