<p>[QUOTE=&quot;verybrad, post: 275240, member: 37&quot;]Usually, the issue is price, even if a relative bargain.&nbsp; Had to walk away from a Tiffany Favrile charger for $300.00 because I just did not have the disposable income at the time.&nbsp; Still kick myself over that one but you can&#039;t spend what you don&#039;t have. </p><p><br /></p><p>I walked away from a Grueby bowl with a mostly obscured mark, as the dealer wanted $40.00 for it.&nbsp; Seemed like a lot of money for an unknown little bowl at the time.&nbsp; About 20 minutes later, it struck me what the mark read.&nbsp; By then, it was gone.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>More often than not, I am the one to figure things out and make the deal.&nbsp; One of my best buys ever was a double marked Teco vase that the auctioneer thought had Chinese writing on it.&nbsp; No one else figured it out and I walked away with it for that same $40.00 price.&nbsp; You win some and lose some.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Even if I don&#039;t know, I will take a hunch if the item is cheap enough.&nbsp; Some of my best buys have been made this way.&nbsp; On the other hand,&nbsp; I still have some of those great buys I have never figured out&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
