Glass Chatroom Board

Mornin' y'all... Late last month I mentioned winning one lot at Jeffrey Evans auction and promised to post a photo when the tumblers arrived. Here's the set, now keeping my Poinsettia tankard company. http://www.pixclix.com/abzoid/poinsettia.jpg

I don't get by here as often as I'd like these days. I took over as cheif moderator of the Vintage Glass group on Facebook and that takes up a fair amount of my free time. I enjoy it, but there are only so many hours in a day. I try to at least read the new posts here daily, but don't usually have anything to add.

re: Market Warriors and similar shows, they're doing it backwards. Every dealer I've ever known buys at auction and sells in their shop/booth. These shows are buying at shops and trying to sell for profit at auction. It's no wonder they don't make a profit. Sure, you may occassionally find a bargain in a shop, but not on a regular basis. I see why the shows do it that way, auctions have a definite date where selling in a shop is open ended. But it's not reality by any stretch.
