<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bdigger, post: 207711, member: 157&quot;]Komo makes a good point.......I was told a long time ago by a dealer that you make your money when you BUY the item.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also when I&#039;m buying something I&#039;m not familiar with, I never spend more then I&#039;m willing to lose.</p><p><br /></p><p>Learn the signs of good quality workmanship. Be it glass, pottery, jewelry or furniture. Good quality always stands out.</p><p><br /></p><p>Someone in a recent post here also mentioned something to the effect of .......buy glass from a pottery dealer, and pottery from a glass dealer. In short, always take a second look at&nbsp; the items a dealer has that don&#039;t fit into what appears to be their main focus of interest.</p><p><br /></p><p>Don&#039;t scoff at the power of dumb luck! I have bought a few things for a song that turned out to be surprisingly valuable. One item I was going to put in a garage sale, until somebody in the group here spotted it and told me what it was. I sold it for several hundred dollars. I&#039;ll see if I can find the thread.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Found it!</p><p><a href="https://www.antiquers.com/threads/art-glass-vase-help-longshot.586/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.antiquers.com/threads/art-glass-vase-help-longshot.586/">https://www.antiquers.com/threads/art-glass-vase-help-longshot.586/</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
