<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 9467367, member: 37"]Appreciate all the comments. Specific tips are very helpful. I need to go back through and make some notes. What I am getting is that the market is tough for most glassware unless you can price it cheaply and/or market it creatively. No longer having shop space makes the latter difficult for me. </p><p><br /></p><p>I know certain things such as Bacarrat and Lalique are no-brainers. I just don't see any of it here. See very little jadite but buy it if I do. Colored glass has been pretty soft here unless very cheap. Seems you can always sell cheap cobalt glass. The people here do not know Blenko or care much about Scandinavian glass. I buy them anyway. Viking and other similar glass only sells if very cheap here. Likewise with Murano. As with so much of what I buy, I have to market it outside my area. Ebay is not always the best choice of venue and shipping has to be taken into account with glass. I think there is going to be one heck of an auction of the best stuff somewhere someday. The rest, I hope I can make a few bucks from a garage sale.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
