<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 352864, member: 5833"]My situation is different, but have certainly found that generosity with information has never hurt me. Of course, I'm mainly generous concerning items I do not want myself, but I often write amateur sellers with info, mainly about the subject on their 1 cameo, sometimes to clarify the material used, particularly if they invite additional info. Once in a while this leads to being offered first dibs on a piece. Usually not something I want, but the reciprocity is nice.</p><p><br /></p><p>Had a different kind of beneficial return recently, when having done research on a piece to help out someone else (she then made absolutely no use of it) gave me the clue I needed to work out the signature on a piece of mine, with a very happy result.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
