Want a laugh?

Some people are ambitious...£1,150.00 for 21 modern Chinese and Czech paperweights ! I don't think that calling them 'antique' does much to change their true nature.

eBay is a laugh a minute. How about this "Baccarat" weight for $2999.99:

Or this "Tiffany" weight for $2495:

I contacted both those sellers several days ago, and both ignored the message.

Well, the "Baccarat" weight is a beautifully script signed example. ;D ;D

I can't seem to copy the link for some reason but just search for Clichy 1847, it does have a start price of £9.99 but my message explaining that it was not Clichy seems to have been ignored.

Hurry though it ends in 12 hours :D
