💬 Instant Value Chat — Real‑Time Guidance (When Available)
During normal business hours (Monday–Friday, 9am–5pm EST), a vertical Instant Value Chat tab will appear on the right side of your screen, giving you direct access to live, real‑time valuation for urgent pricing decisions. This feature is designed for fast antique and vintage price checks while you’re thrifting, managing an estate sale, or evaluating potential purchases. If the tab isn’t visible, live chat is currently offline because it’s outside business hours.
