<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lkh57, post: 222507, member: 4321&quot;]I&#039;ve been buying from EBTH for more than a year now, in the Cincinnati area, and here are a few, what I hope will be, helpful hints to a successful purchase and a happy buyer.</p><p><br /></p><p>1. ONLY buy items that you can pick up, yes their shipping fees are unexplainable ( I once got a shipping estimate for 75.00 for some&nbsp; 4.00 vintage valentines cards....what?)</p><p>2. If there is something that you see and would like to bid on, google the item first and see if it&#039;s on another website for cheaper. I know this seems like common sense, but I can&#039;t tell you how many times people just keep on bidding for things that aren&#039;t worth it. </p><p>3. This company does NOT employ appraisers or experts in things that they are selling, though they state with gems, that they have been certified with a person that does that sort of thing. ( I bid on and won a grandfather clock from them that was listed as &quot;working at time of listing&quot; for 150.00. Well, 500.00 later it&#039;s working. The weights had been taped together in a storage unit for so long, that the adhesive still won&#039;t come off so I have no idea how they could possibly have tested it and the mechanism was listed as a certain kind... nope. When the clock repair guy came to the house, and after I told him what it was supposed to be, his first words were &quot;did you buy this from EBTH?&quot; I just figured the clock was desperate for a good home and coughed up the cash)</p><p>4. Every auction is a risk...well, maybe not Christie&#039;s, but most are, even when you can see the items first hand</p><p>5. Should you get a sh*t deal from them, go ahead and make and win (a small bid ) on something else that you can pick up, and when you get there casually mention to the person verifying your purchase loud enough for others to hear, that the last purchase you made wasn&#039;t exactly as described i.e broken, missing piece etc. See above mentioned clock. I haven&#039;t gotten a bad item since[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
