<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marie Forjan, post: 2847923, member: 147&quot;]That is something that has always bothered me, how can you accurately price an item when you don&#039;t have a clue what it is? Of course, sometimes that works for all of us, but really, pick a price and description out of a hat?</p><p><br /></p><p>I was at an antique show, saw a bracelet tangled in a pile of stuff in a case (talk about red flag) and asked about it. The dealer told me the price, said the stones were amber and said &quot;I think it&#039;s silver&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>Well, the stones were dragon&#039;s breath (man-made glass, not amber), the metal wasn&#039;t marked and he had not tested it. A lot of dragon&#039;s breath jewelry is set in costume metal. I am sure he priced it based on what he paid, but really? I expect more of a dealer at an antique show.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry to go off on a tangent <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie86" alt=":sorry:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
