I seen a Quart Hutch from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan get around $2,500.00 which totally shocked me. Insane. LEON.
They seem to. There are a lot of bottles that are quite pretty but are worthless in the UK. Even pre-eBay, I remember going to bottle shows and seeing the same thing; for example much of the stuff Jim Rogers used to sell at shows was from the UK.Do they sell?

As a seller, that's how I prefer it assuming the item was described correctly and arrived intact. If I got paid for selling an item/service, I want to stay paid. I used my packing materials, tape, and time to ship it to you. There's no way I'm gonna wanna have it come back to me, especially since ebay will not return all the fees I get charged for selling on their site. Returning an item will cause me to lose money and time and is overall displeasing. All sales should be final assuming that the item was accurately portrayed in the photos and/or description. An error in a listing is a different story. It's like an antique store, except that it's all through pictures instead of in-person viewing.What does everybody on the think about Seller doesn't accept returns.

Describing the condition of a bottle is very subjective. It depends on the seller's idea what they personally think thier bottle's condition is. Not everybody would agree on (example) mint. Since you can't see or touch the bottle (some sellers use only pictures to tell you its condition) you must rely on the sellers interpretation of its condition. Its when your able to see it in person can you agree or disagree with the seller.As a seller, that's how I prefer it assuming the item was described correctly and arrived intact.

Interesting concept about auction/bidding is on its way out. What format would take its place?Ebay is no longer buyer OR seller friendly for antique glass. When they took away listing costs and transferred those costs to the other end, ebay was suddenly swamped with sellers that were just playing around and didn't want to really sell anything. If one listing out of a hundred sticks to the wall they are satisfied. Auction/bidding is on its way out.
Yes, but I'm digging in Galveston. Most of the small towns in Texas were not founded until the 1890's, so for much of Texas, that is as old as the local stuff gets.You've found Bottles in Texas much older then 1880's+ Hutch's haven't you? LEON.
