I just dug up a pirate damsel and I'm wondering if she compares to the

I wanted to ask the general relative worth of a few items, that I have an idea

None of us have a price guide sitting in front of us, and how much
something is "worth" depends on a whole lot of things.

True, but an individual might have a pretty accurate idea; in which case it is
up to them whether they want to impart their knowledge. In the mean-time I'll
do some more research, but it'd be nice to know whether it is acceptable to ask
for advice in this area!
