[QUOTE="LoveTheHunt!, post: 424358, member: 8191"]Yeah, I just printed that listing to give him, along with my rejection. He's an old man, who's been antiquing many years, but a lot of his knowledge predates the internet, and also some of it is from looking at books. So, on one hand, some of his info is outdated, and on the other hand, I have never sold anything to a [I]book![/I] He does know stuff I don't, so I've learned from him (and we've made many thousand$ together, including my highest sale ever), but Asian ceramics isn't his forte. He just brings me stuff he believes is old; sometimes it is, sometimes not. The internet has also dramatically changed the antiques market, so sometimes I have to educate [I]him [/I]about things that are [I]not that valuable[/I], any more.
