<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lucille.b, post: 466438, member: 51&quot;][USER=5833]@Bronwen[/USER]&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; I had not thought this fellow buyer would see the shorter length as a positive possibly. Good point. Could be completely off on my arm chair analysis, lol.&nbsp; (Not the first time.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Not to beat a dead horse, but I have to say that her voice lilted down and the end of the &quot;oh too short&quot; sentence.&nbsp; Kind of like she was commiserating with me.</p><p><br /></p><p>So if she saw it as a positive, she was sort of playing around -- or maybe also thought it a negative, but decided she had to have it anyway.</p><p><br /></p><p>She didn&#039;t grab it the minute I set it back.&nbsp; A few short moments went by, then she gently lifted it, looked at it briefly again and purchased it. Gentle and professional.</p><p><br /></p><p>My end?&nbsp; With that clearly replaced clasp, I have to ask myself if the clasp isn&#039;t original, is it possible that some of the chain is gone too? Not wearable for most as is.&nbsp; For resale (at that price) all of these things quickly run through my mind.&nbsp; If I was purchasing it for my own use, might have been a completely different outcome.&nbsp; Also with potential Mona Lisa&#039;s flying off the shelf in all other rooms at the estate sale, time was not a luxury.&nbsp; Otherwise I might have sat there pondering it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of all the photos, it was the one I was most drawn to, but not to be.</p><p><br /></p><p>(Thanks again, Bronwen and others. Was so helpful to run this potential horde by some friendly jewelry folks.)</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m off on a new adventure in an hour.&nbsp; Something I&#039;ve never done.&nbsp; Will be helping someone set up at a antique/collectibles show.&nbsp; Might have potential for some pre-show buying and will learn what goes into setting up for one of these events.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
