<p>[QUOTE="Bdigger, post: 132494, member: 157"]In my opinion. Chips and damage (including repairs) will kill most Glass and Pottery. Some normal wear and tear on an item is expected by most, but can effect price if it is excessive. Also, how visible is the damage? Does the plate have a chip that shows on the front, or a chip on the rim on the back that doesn't show when displayed? I might buy one with a back chip if I'm gonna display it, and I really want it, but never one with damage that shows. But even with non visable damage I would not expect to pay full price.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
