Who said Chance glass wasn't collectable?

Amazing :!: :!: :shock:
I do think that David had a great deal to do with the high price too.
Having a site and reference to refer to, definitely does help when selling an item.
Davids great site was used in the listing 8)
Or was it you selling it, David :twisted: :wink: :lol: :?:

--- Quote ---I noticed this one was an open auction starting at about £2.00.....Scarey! But i also think a high BIN price is also scarey for buyers! What do you think?

My own thoughts is to start it at a very reasoanble price (£29.95, perhaps) to encourage people to at least look. Plenty of mouth-watering piccies will persuade them well enough that this is genuine. Be very verbose with the text as well and make sure there's no doubting the validity and desirability of the item (you've probably seen my long-winded descriptions :lol:)
But even starting at 0.01p wouldn't be a problem as I know there are enough people who will pay big bucks for this - probably even more if it was the ruby intaglio.
I really don't think you'll have a problem getting a 3-figure sum, although you could set the BiN at a silly price just to see if anyone bites :P £350, £400? You never know...
Another thought is to split the two items and sell them separately.
Finally, of all the Posy vases, this and the Ruby are the only ones I would always have on display with absolute pride. They really are the bees-knees 8)

:oops: I'm feeling guilty now! I said to Anne a long time ago that it's quite frightening that people are hanging on every word to sell their own items, so I've tried hard to be as subjective as possible. Even minimising the use of the dreaded "rare" word :D

Thanks a lot Della, it really is appreciated.
No, not mine, but wished it was... :wink:

Well I may just do a high B I N and see what happens.....if it doesn't sell it's not a big deal, but it would be nice.
Rather it didn't sell than sell at a pathetic price, so in for a penny in for ...????
Frank:
Pre the web catalogue Pirelli sold at 2 to 5 pounds. Now they sell for ten to thirty times those figures.
The principle as old as the hills, get the information out there AND seen then up go the prices.
Richard Dennis is well known for taking this to the extreme.
