Does dust help sell antiques?

Treasure chests are never clean. That's my motto. All my vintage pieces are found in attics, where they've been stored for decades. The appearance of these antiques is very different from the exhibits in museums and exhibitions. That's because I didn't wash or wipe them with a wet cloth. I only wiped them with a slightly dry cloth. My vintage pieces are covered in dust. I put them up for sale in this state.

I'll be honest. My relatives and one of my shop visitors criticized my marketing approach. They say dust needs to be removed. Some people even go further, saying that dust on merchandise shows disrespect for customers. But I continue to adhere to my marketing strategy. Treasure chests are never clean.

In my opinion, dust helps attract buyers. A dusty vintage piece looks more natural. Overall, about 1,000 Facebook impressions brought me about 200 visitors to the shop. I think this is a good result. And this result was achieved thanks to dust. What do you think about using dust to sell antiques?
