<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sdcookie2, post: 4451104, member: 11767&quot;]So I got a good one for you all. </p><p><br /></p><p>Recently I sold a Silverplate humidor, photographs represented well. </p><p>Buyer receives the item and I get this message: </p><p>Hello,</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve left ++ feedback, but was disappointed in the loss of patina on the item. I&#039;ve had these before and they are usually less worn, the pictures didn&#039;t really show how dark it really was,</p><p><br /></p><p>Just wanted you to know,</p><p><br /></p><p>MP</p><p>My reply:</p><p>Sorry to hear this, you say loss of patina but then again says it is dark? The dark is the patina. So to say the least I am confused. You can Polish it if you want it less dark? Sometimes the photos can only show so much due to lighting. Thanks for letting me know.</p><p>His reply:</p><p>NO, silver plate has a shine to it , see others below, they plating is mostly gone</p><p><br /></p><p>MP</p><p>My reply:</p><p>Silverplate has a shine to it if you polish it. It has merely tarnished over the years. Most people like the tarnished look. Get yourself some silver polish and a rag it will polish right up just like the ones that you have shown me. I&#039;ve been an antique dealer for 30 years and have many pieces of silver plate look the same way until polished.</p><p><br /></p><p>I was flabbergasted....lol</p><p>[ATTACH=full]383079[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
