<p>[QUOTE="808 raver, post: 9736965, member: 4654"]All of those figures were just an example but if they were real taking 20k instead of 200k would be too painful, I don't mind a dealer making twice what they paid but 10x is too much, I buy things with 10x less than their worth in a global auction because of being wrongly listed ect but I would never offer 10x less in a private sale. I am now thinking how many items do I have that I don't know the ball park figure and the answer is 1. That has come from researching what I have and what it fetches. Also prices from country to country differ a great deal, I do buy in other countries because of this but the items I buy are very rare and in the world there isn't that many left or there wasn't that many made. Quite a lot of antiques I have I can't see any of them for sale on the internet these days but 15 years ago they were being sold on ebay.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
