Glass Chatroom Board

Morning All,

Hope all is well with everyone, the time just seems to be flying by. I have been busy babysitting and visiting with nieces and nephews and have been loving it. The best compliment was when I was babysitting my grandniece all day and her mom came home and I was leaving, she wanted to come with me(LOL).

Is anyone sick about what they are doing to old glass, porcelain etc? I was with a girlfriend last week in shop where they took an old Shelley tea cup & Saucer glued them together and made a candle out of it. I have had this set before and have sold it for $125.00. If I knew how to get it unglued I would of gotten this for a bargain price of $15.00. While I was looking at this the shopkeeper came over and said isn't it pretty, I said yes it is but a beautiful piece of porcelain got ruined, and if you had just left it as a Cup & Saucer you could of gotten around $100.00 for it. She was shocked, and thought grandmas Cups and Saucers where just that. And I don't even want to talk about what they are doing to EAPG and Depression glass, it's sad.

@songbreeze Gail - You are right about if you price well at a booth, people will come back. When I am out and about at shops there are at least 2 booths in every shop I do stop buy and more then likely buy something from them because their prices are so well. Though sometimes I think they don't have a clue about EAPG, but it works for me.

@wattleihavenext Julie - I sell at prices I don't regret, and never ever look at others auctions or stores who have bought from me. I look at it this way, I got the price I wanted, and if they sell it for more I chalk it up as them being at the right time at the right place. You could of listed the bowl on Ebay and not of sold it, plus you have all the fees, the worry of shipping etc. This way here you got what you wanted and no worries or fees.

@sellingthings Marty - Hope they figure out what is wrong with you, also don't exclude any medicine that you are taking that could be causing a problem.

I also learned a new thing about geography last week, is that part of Russia is in Europe, I grew up thinking it was in Asia. So if you do not want to ship to Russia and a few other countries also considered Europe, you might want to change your settings to exclude them. I had no Idea you can select Europe and then exclude individual countries. I was surprised how many countries I excluded and never gave it thought before then.
