Looking Left When I Should have Looked RIGHT

Man oh Man what a devastating weekend! I went to a Yardsale. I was the first person there, for 10 minutes I was all alone picking up little treasures here and there. Then another guy came by and asked the right question to the lady. Do you have any old bottles? She took him in the back yard...

Why $100+

At least if they are going to go fishing, they could use better bait, those pictures are awful.

some people always complain!!!!

Always respond in Kindness, they really hate that! Negs on ebay are like taxes, you are always going to get them no matter how hard you try to avoid it. If they leave you a neg, reply with factual statements and be honest, but don't be hateful---you come out the better person. Good Luck. JOHN

Blue Sandwhich Acanthus Pontil cologne Am I missing something?

As I am sure woody is aware, this Lady is very reserved with her things. She is waiting to see how the things I have now go, before she will even let me see the other bottles. From what I hear woody has been waiting for a while to see them[;)]. When the time comes that I do get them, this is...

Blue Sandwhich Acanthus Pontil cologne Am I missing something?

Hi Mike, Woody has seen the bottle and he would better be able to tell you what those lines are in the neck (I think). I do know there are no chips or cracks on the bottle. I would sell it for $1050.00, but like woody says, all she sees are dollars signs. She does not "Need" to sell it so...

Blue Sandwhich Acanthus Pontil cologne Am I missing something?

Hey Woddy and Meech, I was hoping you would reply to this woody, I did not want to use your name without permission. I have tried to explain "Appraisal Value" and actual "Auction Value" to her, saying sometimes you may get more and sometimes you may get less. She is stuck on that figure you...

Blue Sandwhich Acanthus Pontil cologne Am I missing something?

I saw the same bottle on another website sold through an auction house that went for $2300.00 I never saw the Kovel book price. I do not think she is even expecting that high of a price, but i can not even take offers to her because they are just not coming in, and was hoping someone might be...

The Best Ebay Reseller Ever!!

Bootleboy is right. Flattery is one thing, Stealing is another. Whould you be flattered if this same guy came into your house and took your prize winning bottle and made it his own in his own home without asking? it is the same thing here. report him.

The Best Ebay Reseller Ever!!

Hey Rick, You should be upset he is using your pictures, and worse yet your own description. That is against ebay policy. He is basicly stealing your work. Its as if you worked hard to complete a project and the guy sitting on his muff comes along and takes all the credit for what you...
