Tee hee, some folks do try it on! Sent seller a message pointing him to your sale :twisted:
-
He replied
once again here is another email which I do not know what the person is on about - as paperweight is in mint condition - no damage.
-
Spam the guy folks!
-
Maybe he has had it polished out?
Not that you could tell anything from his picture !!!
-
it would cost around the £30 mark to get it polished and thats all it's worth on a good day
-
Then the man's a nut as it will only be sent back when he sells it.
:roll:
-
I emailed him. He says it's absolutely mint with no damage. :?
Maybe he had an identical perfect one already, is keeping Ray's bullseyed one and is selling the perfect one? :roll:
-
An identical one with the same triangular canes in the same places in the central bit?
Maybe the glassblower had twins??
-
now it's a pin mark and he/she has changed the photo to blurrier one
quote " THIS WAS POINTED OUT TO ME AFTER LISTING "
someone must of had good eye's to see that
and whats a pin mark?
-
:( Unbelievable. Someone to avoid in future!

One of his 2 negatives (and it is a guy) indicates that he failed to pay for one item as a Buyer. The more important other neg as a Seller indicates he did not describe an item accurately. I emailed him and he threatened to report me to eBay. Yawn. Claimed others were harassing him, too.
-
but he buy's them off ebay and put's them back on, when i sold mine i described it as a strathearn/vasart due to it could be one or the other date wise, he put it back on as perthshire , then changed it back to strathearn, but he bought this one and he's done the same http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=20&item=220004852462

Risky way of doing business, particularly as he has not a clue how to take a picture! Most of the people that do that buy from useless sellers like this one and put up a glitzy display to sell for a profit.

This was a geniune mistake as I did not see any pin mark on paperweight until I looked through magnifying glass - I was unaware this was there when I bought it (truth) as I only looked at the small listing picture - I am still learning about ebay and do apologise for any inconvenience caused hence the reason I changed the listing details - we all learn by our mistakes - thank you for advising me. I am not at all perturbed about your remark as I do not want to become a collector any longer as it seems to go to peoples heads as they take collecting very seriously - I love my little paperweight and will be only too glad to keep it in my possession if it does not sell - hope you receive a medal for blacklisting me - I am honest and understanding and take other peoples views on board without becoming nasty to others over a geniune error - we are not all perfect we all have imperfections - had I known this item had a pin mark I would have described it on my listing it was only when you advised me re-email I then altered listing details.

Just a thought Ray, you said in your auction:
in excellent condition apart from one small bulls eye as in the photo, it measures 2.25" across and 1.5" high, the base is fire polished
There was a cafe discussion not so long ago complaining about sellers saying excellent condition followed by details of damage :lol: Obviously some people only read the first two lines of a description.

If that.
I had been putting the gallery pictures underneath the titles, but above the detailed description, but I found people only got as far as the pictures and then stopped, I presume they must have thought the titles were the entire description.
I've moved the pics to the very top now, and hope that SOME people may read a little further on.
And yes, I agree regarding excellent. In fact I have virtually stopped using excellent and tend to say Very Good as my utmost superlative.
The one that gets me is Mint. It can't be mint AND second hand. It can be very good without damage or wear, but mint implies it has never been handled at all.

I quite like things along the lines of genuine 1970s brand new in box! :lol: Unused maybe

" hope you receive a medal for blacklisting me " hope it's nice and shinny Frank :lol:

Seller has ended the auction early, certainly due to the pressure from Glass Board members.
