<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bdigger, post: 470229, member: 157&quot;]I too like crystal, but there is a lot of it out there. Here are some of my guidelines I use to help me from getting way more then I can handle.</p><p>1. Do not buy unsigned crystal for resale, it is hard to sell, but buy it if you like it and plan on keeping it for your&nbsp; use.</p><p><br /></p><p>2. Look carefully for the signatures and marks. Sometimes they can be hard to spot until the light hits them just right.</p><p><br /></p><p>3. A good LED penlight is a must have for finding signatures. Take one with you shopping. Some acid etched signatures are very faint. If you buy something, take it into a dark room and look it over using the LED light , you might find the signature.</p><p><br /></p><p>4. Look at as much of it as you can. Handling it, looking for signatures is all good experience. You will also get a feel for the weight and clarity.</p><p><br /></p><p>5 if you have a “feeling” about a piece and the price is right, go for it. Just be prepared to live with it if your wrong.</p><p><br /></p><p>6 never buy chipped or “flea bite’ items. Feel along the edges and rims with your finger to find damage.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
