Trying to correct incorrect attributions copied infinitely? fruitless!

 

They like you to start a free trial and then let you know later what the price is... but here is what I found just now:
https://www.worthpoint.com/product/index

My guess is that it would be very much against their terms of service for a large group to buy a single subscription.

 

Thanks for finding that out. More expensive than I imagined. Endorsements given seem to be from representatives of companies, who can of course take it as a business expense. Unless these are 1-person shops, I imagine they give anyone there who might need it access to the account & that Worthpoint expects this. We'd need to get together a larger group of contributors than I think we can to make it a nominal cost for everyone. Oh well. It was a thought. Great thanks to those of you who do from time to time check a price for others.

 

Not sure if anyone answered this yet, but $19.99.

 

I second that... and I'm glad this came up because I had been thinking about getting a subscription, mostly just out of curiosity and to help people who ask. Seeing the price, I'll think twice about that.

 

Yes, but you can cancel Worthpoint at any time. I used it once. It was WORTH it, bwahaha!

 

I guess you are right, just noticed there is a name and date in the lid...

 

This looks to me more like a fancy coal or ash bucket than a chamber pot...

For practical reasons, if a chamber pot, would expect a flared lip on the liner. as well as a bit more stability than that small footed base...


Below are links to somewhat similar pieces with liners:

Hey Cheryl,

thanks a lot, that is most probably what it is!
Much appreciated.

 

Not much for a hallmark, but took a punt for five dollars

Tests as 18K
34 2.7mm square diamonds

 

Chaching!

 

Good punt......it looks like gold from here....

 

Still, it's a wonder just how stuff like this ever gets as far as the $5 table..

 

I'm going for Grandmama's Remains......!!!

 

And joining Worthpoint for 19.99?/month or 199.99?/year????? To ME......JUST a WEEEEEE bit pricey..................

 

isn't 20 bucks a month......$240 a year ???

 

The $19.99 price was in response to Davey's asking someone to look up the results on an item he found in a house clearance.
