<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Shangas, post: 35787, member: 360&quot;]I&#039;ve been after writing slopes for a long, long time. Most which I see, even the really nice ones, never have inkwells. They&#039;ve all been lost, smashed up, broken in some way...And the ones which DO have inkwells cost two arms, a leg and your right eye. I remember one memorable occasion when a lady tried to sell a half-busted writing-slope for $500, and had the gall to call it &quot;fully restored&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>Conversation went something like this: </p><p><br /></p><p><i>&quot;Where&#039;s the other half of the writing-slope?&quot;</i></p><p><i>&quot;Don&#039;t have it&quot;</i></p><p><i>&quot;Where&#039;s the key?&quot;</i></p><p><i>&quot;Doesn&#039;t have one&quot;</i></p><p><i>&quot;Do you have the inkwell somewhere?&quot;</i></p><p><i>&quot;Doesn&#039;t have one&quot;</i></p><p><i>&quot;Why is it $500?&quot;</i></p><p><i>&quot;It&#039;s been restored!&quot; </i></p><p><i>&quot;...riiiiiiiiiight...Good luck selling this for half-a-grand.&quot; </i></p><p><br /></p><p>I felt absolutely no obligation to be polite to someone who lies to their customers. </p><p><br /></p><p>I am aware that you can buy reproduction inkwells online (screw-top ones of the style used in writing-slopes), but it&#039;s always better to have the original.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
