<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Shangas, post: 822876, member: 360&quot;]Whenever you post something this forum, you should ALWAYS be prepared for the possibility that actually - nobody knows anything about it. I don&#039;t know if I&#039;ve ever seen it happen, but I&#039;m sure that it does. </p><p><br /></p><p>Being an arrogant snob about your antiques is the FASTEST way to piss off other collectors. I speak from experience. </p><p><br /></p><p>I will NEVER forget the time I rang up an antiques shop and asked if there might be any interest in half a dozen antique pocketwatches I had for sale. </p><p><br /></p><p>The FIRST THING they asked was NOT:</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;What&#039;s the brand?&quot;</p><p>&quot;How many jewels?&quot;</p><p>&quot;Where were they made?&quot;</p><p>&quot;How old are they?&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>The FIRST THING out of their mouth was:</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Are they solid gold?&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>When I said &quot;no&quot;, they IMMEDIATELY hung up. </p><p><br /></p><p>That kind of attitude will get you SCREWED in the antiques world.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
