I know that now Christine!! :pb:
He has relisted them and they are beyond my pocket now!! I wish I had done a buy it now when I was able to!! Still, they do say that honesty is the best policy and I feel good that at least I recognised quality!!
Thank you everyone for your help :kissy:.....now back to eBay to see new listings!! :sun:
Anne:
Sorry Rosie, I wasn't around yesterday to add your pics, :kissy: but well done on managing it yourself. :hiclp: Super clear marks! :rah:
I have a Langham bunny with an etched mark on the base which is hard to read let alone photograph: http://glassgallery.yobunny.org.uk/displayimage.php?pos=-951. May we add your Langham marks to the GlassGallery English labels & marks album please? http://glassgallery.yobunny.org.uk/thumbnails.php?album=536

Rosie, you're a doll. My thoughts on this is that the seller was trying to pass off something as Langham, though there was no indication that it was. It didn't have the signature and didn't look like their work. Why be honest with someone who was not being honest with potential buyers -- either that or who did not do their homework. It was also not honest to cancel the auction when it had a bid on it made by the person who did the homework.
When I get a deal from someone who doesn't know what they're selling, I credit it to all the money I put into books and all the hours I put into looking. The sad thing is now you did the research and the seller gets the profit. The good thing is I'll be surprised if he sells Zanetti at that price on eBay, particularly not in the current market. The opening bids on the ended auctions were more realistic ones for the smaller, less complex Zanetti on eBay.

Firstly, Anne, I have to confess it was my husband who did the pictures, so no credit to me at all....and yes of course you can add these to your gallery, and in just the same way as you have said I can always send pics to you for downsizing with out asking prior permission, so you may at any time use any pictures I send for the benefit of the GMB. :thup:
Now Anita, thank you kindly for calling me a doll....not a name ofter attributed to Grannies!! :hi:
You are absolutely correct in that the seller was trying to pass off something that wasn't Langham, and I did think he would let me know when he relisted, but hasn't had the courtesy to do that either. So we shall wait and see what transpires...... ::)
