<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DragonflyWink, post: 185147, member: 111&quot;]Gotta say, lack of research on the part of sellers, regardless of the venue, has resulted in some fine profit for me...</p><p><br /></p><p>A good &#039;eye&#039; is very important, and some pieces truly are unworthy of research, but the ability to ascertain that is usually a mix of natural and acquired talent, not everyone has the ability or experience.&nbsp; Knowing when to stop spending time on research is not always clear-cut either - who among us hasn&#039;t stashed away a few items that just seemed to deserve further research, or sold an item, later finding that if properly identified, it would have brought a much better return?</p><p><br /></p><p>Believe there are a lot of instances where the &#039;name&#039; is important, just as a quick example, in American coin silver, a Southern maker would be more desirable, though the item might vary little in appearance from one by a Northern maker.&nbsp; To some buyers, the quality of an item just isn&#039;t as important as who made it and that they want it - it&#039;s only common sense to make any information available to help those prospective buyers find what they want...</p><p><br /></p><p>~Cheryl[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
