<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Chinoiserie, post: 10332117, member: 79460&quot;]I sent images of the vases to Maxwell&#039;s auction house a few weeks ago. </p><p>Good evening </p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;I have a pair of vases that I wish to sell. I believe them to be Yokohama yaki. They are in near perfect condition and stand at 38cm tall. Would you be interested in listing them for me? Thanks for your time</p><p>Regards&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>They invited me in to view them on 3rd April. Over the phone they said that they were &quot;Very interesting&quot; so I booked a couple of days off work and took them in last week.</p><p><br /></p><p>The guy I saw said that he thought that they were worth £200-£300 so I decided to leave them so that they could be put into auction. </p><p><br /></p><p>I received this email back today</p><p><br /></p><p>We are so sorry for the long delay in getting back to you. We are only a small team here at Maxwells and we have been working our way</p><p>through the valuations as quickly as possible, so apologies for any inconvenience caused.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you for your emails and images.</p><p><br /></p><p>Yokohama vases probably do not have sufficient value to be sold at auction. They are an interesting pair of vases of some vintage, however</p><p>their likely realised price of around £40-60 is not sufficient to warrant sale by auction.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry we cannot give you better news.</p><p><br /></p><p>Kind regards</p><p><br /></p><p>Maxwells&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>I mean what the actual f? I now have to go and collect them. I can live with the valuation but to get me go all the way there 30 mile round trip and £14 train fare twice, and then deliver that?</p><p><br /></p><p>They knew they were Yokohama from the very off and that&#039;s the basis of them not wanting to sell them? What a awful way of conducting business. I don&#039;t want to burn any bridges but really feel like off loading my true feelings on them. </p><p><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie14" alt=":arghh:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
