<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bev aka thelmasstuff, post: 291052, member: 23&quot;]Very erudite and informative, but the average buyer doesn&#039;t come along armed with encyclopedic facts.&nbsp; If you are buying something for your own use, do what you will. I polish my antique brass because I prefer it.&nbsp; However, when I buy an item to resell, I never, ever refinish it.&nbsp; It&#039;s up to the buyer to decide what&#039;s right for them.&nbsp; If I can get twice as much for an item with &#039;original&#039; patina or finish, I&#039;d be stupid to try and convince the buyer that it was a better idea to buy it the way I like it and maybe lose a sale.&nbsp; Why bother to do all that work for someone else?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
