I pay a lot of attention to reviews when I make a purchase. That being said Im terrible about leaving them and would like to leave more notable ones, especially for newer sellers. I have noticed that most of the sellers I buy from have reviews from approx 10-20% of their items sold, so maybe Im not the only one that reads rather than write. My questions are ‘Do you check a sellers reviews before you purchase from them?’ And if you do ‘Are there certain things you look for? Or do you just see if customers are satisfied in general?’

I purchased this hoping it would be 925. It was listed as unmarked, unsigned silver torque. I bought it because it looked really old and it's kinda cool. Ive researched it and it looks like other pieces from India (tribal). Some sellers on ebay and Posh are.listing it as 800. However, it fails the acid test. Did I just lose $100?

I mentioned during Brad's auction yesterday the heron he had for sale was not a Carnegie. I would like to show why (aside from the fact it was unsigned). Here are 3 versions but only one is authentic (and signed). Can you pick which it is.

I took the risk on a lot I found on eBay. I wrote about it a couple of weeks ago. It met most of my criteria in buying, except one. Lots of pictures but no pics of the backs. It was a bad risk I made. There really wasn’t anything to salvage. Main issue was the smell. It was dirty and dusty and attacked my asthma something fierce. I reached out to seller, in a very nice way and asked for a $12.00 refund (I paid $44). She wrote back apologizing profusely saying she buys tons of estates, hadn’t gone through it except to take pictures. She refunded me $32.00. Even without her refund the whole event gave me an opportunity to flex my wings and just try. I see now what I should have done in selecting. Complete learning experience. Thanks Team Skool!!
