[QUOTE="komokwa, post: 582669, member: 301"]I came here to inquire price, accuracy of age, authenticity etc to help make a decision on purchase. [COLOR=#ff0000]& I came here to join in a community of like minded lovers of antiques, offering their time and expertise & opinions on a wide variety of items in order to help each other figure out exactly what it is they have. So , what's your point? [/COLOR] I have purchased a large amount of his items that are no doubt exactly what he’s told me they are. [COLOR=#00b300]Well now there is doubt, just by virtue of you being here to ask ' whatever information' you can glean from us to validate what you've been told by a seller who wants to rid himself of his stock......at a substantial loss. [/COLOR] in Dallas- Fort Worth that antiques are priced a lot higher. ... [COLOR=#4da6ff]Members here come from all over North America & the world. There are many who live up the side of a mountain , in small communities , out in the back woods, & in the heart of big cities. Thus, we are reluctant to place firm values on items because of the very nature of their volatile market fluctuations. That said....at $1200...even if your dealer is honest.......he may have wildly overpaid ..... for a number of reasons....or cuz he screwed the pooch ![/COLOR][/QUOTE]
