<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KSW, post: 1585190, member: 8708&quot;]This is a very astute comment. </p><p>I find I lose enthusiasm trying to work out what something is made of or if it&#039;s of interest if it&#039;s behind glass. Or craning my neck to see the upside down price tag.</p><p>I fully understand the reasons why due to the thieving rats who have no respect or morals but when the person with the key is at the front of the shop serving customers it&#039;s too much effort to ask them to open a cabinet unless I&#039;m really keen.</p><p>I also tend to assume most things behind glass are going to have a hefty price tag and as I&#039;m queen of the bargain hunters so I don&#039;t bother. </p><p>At antiques fairs I understand why properly valuable stuff is under glass but not the low value stuff. </p><p>Most of the antiques shops round here are stupidly expensive when you can sometimes pick up similar items for a tenth of the price online. That goes for most of our high street stores though. So many empty shops with huge overheads that can&#039;t compete with online.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
