[QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 321727, member: 51"]Thank you King -- :happy: [USER=152]@tie.dye.cat[/USER] It would probably be a good exercise to educate ourselves what with some of these prices on the upper end of costume Trifari approaching 3K. I think anything Trifari that looks way over the top should be purchased if the price is right. (We can get calibrated as to the "over the top look" by the tried and true scrolling through completed, highest first.) Seems like pieces with what is called an "invisible setting" are sometimes on the higher end, ANYTHING with a clear lucite piece --sort of Jelly bell like, is worth getting. As far as marks, I've seen high sales with the Crown Trifari mark (tiny crown over the T), Trifari Pat Pend and just Trifari. So maybe better to approach purchasing by the look of the piece rather than the mark itself.
