Greetings ...
Another question: On eBay, how sound and reasonable are the "estimated retail prices" quoted by the large volume sellers? Since I don't sell in a brick and mortar store, yet, I am trying to sell at good prices, but not going anywhere near the suggested prices. Also, I have kind of a "funky" tone to my selling ambience, even when I do get a store, so I am trying to find the right pricing tide for the pieces I am buying.
Also, I saw an auction last week in which the guy was selling a lot of antique, some quite old, prayer rugs. I feel funny about buying old prayer rugs. But one that was listed had this description. "This rug must have heard thousands of prayers. Nothing more to say to this old veteran." I almost wanted to weep! I bid, just to give "the old veteran" a good home so he wouldn't end up as somebody's poodle pillow. He was quite old and frayed. But I lost him. That really got to me though. I guess I am sentimental.
