Chris, I am a collector of both Victorian and Frank Thrower glass (an odd combination, admittedly) and only buy/sell glass to fund my collecting habit.  I can understand if you saw it any other way, because it does rather drive me mad when people solely request ID's for sale purposes.  I think the worst aspect of it is when people post several items for this purpose, so that genuine collector's ID requests get moved further down the ID board.  I have thought that it would maybe be better to have an "itention to sell" ID board and separate "collector's ID's" one.  I would happily use both, though I would doubt that I would find an improved level of bonhomie on either!

I used to collect Whitefriars and Scandinavian glass, till university came along for my two for the last few years I have bought and sold glass as an hobby to fund this. no secrets there, a lover of all glass in general, though maybe not so much Art Deco LOL, I do post on here the odd Decco, Sklo union pieces now and again for ID purposes, but find if you don't get an immediate response you can forget it because within a few days it's literally 4 pages back and 'lost' I do try and do a lot of my own research thankfully a lot of the Scandi stuff is signed, numbered or labelled and like to think I can hold my own with most W/F pieces, but of course we all need help now and again, just feel some take the lazy option and let others do the work for them sometimes.
