[QUOTE="pearlsnblume, post: 185320, member: 141"]I bought a vintage MIJ Christmas Girl with Reindeer a few summers ago at an estate sale. I was so excited as it was in such great shape and I knew I could triple what I paid for it since the seller had no idea of what price it went for online. Got it home and in my rush to get it photographed, I held it by runners on the sled that the Christmas Girl was sitting in and they snapped off like twigs. I almost cried. Instead I listed it at a very discounted price for someone who could glue the runners back on and enjoy the item as flawed. I still made a nice profit, but no where near what I could have gotten if I had not messed up. It sold and I learned to stop rushing when trying to get my items ready for pictures.:arghh:[/QUOTE]
