How to Proceed with Unethical Buyer
Question... I had a show and messed up the shipping for a first-time customer. I believe it was isolated mistake to just two items that possibly got swapped during bagging. It was just a $5 item. I deeply apologized to her for the mistake and told her to put in a request for refund. There was no way for me to get it back. She bought 4 items (she did get 4 items one which was wrong and a free gift that I give all my customers). The other customer who may have gotten her item is a reseller who bought 20+ items and probably thought nothing of it (her purchase was also $5). But again, I am not certain if she was the one who actually got it out of the 31 shipments I had for that show. I offered if she were to attend my show again, that I would give her a complimentary piece of jewelry for my mistake and to please continue for the request for refund for the $5 item. She then went on a rant that I probably did because I did not get what I wanted for the item and did send it, etc. I told her that I was offended by her accusation and that was certainly not the case, that in 7000 items I have only messed up twice like this and my reviews speak for themselves. I looked and saw that she put in a refund request but not for the $5 item she was missing but for the most expensive item she bought which was a $26 item claiming it was missing from shipment (other 3 were $5 items) and it seemed to go through. Obviously, there are email communications about this incident, and I am more upset that she lied to WhatNot and she got away with it. Do I say something to her that I know what she did calling her out, let it go or should I report it to WhatNot? I have blocked her. UGH

This has happened to me, we blocked and moved on. Not much you can do. Best not to dwell on it, doesn't help anything imo... I believe in karma tho.

Hello 💫 Sold jewelry and vintage at clothing "The Drunken Flea" in Lexington, Ky on Saturday & took a quick peak around before the show opened. Only bought a couple things: including this lot of jewelry that I pulled out of a little jewelry box ... the vender had pulled this from an estate clean out. She tried to research this ring but never found anything. She thought it could be gold because was marked 14... sure looks like gold, has the right weight to it. Never seen this mustard yellow underneath before? Pic of my $100 haul in comments, how do you think I did? 😝

@Shanista Hertz ty, always looking for ways to make it even better ♡
Can we talk……. Insurance?
For those of you who have private collections or a large inventory of Jewelry, do you have it insured through a separate private insurance company? Who do you use and how much does it cost? Needing to get my jewels insured.

Tried to get my entire collection insured, the major company (would have to look up which one since was 10 ago) said they wanted $1000 a month for the policy. I said no thanks & didnt get any more quotes. Need to get an appraisal for just the jewelry only (was just renters insurance maybe this made a big difference?)... We are still house hunting... looking for acreage, an add on to home owners insurance = much better rate. Side note: My fiance does appraisals every week thru his auction house, he bills out $300/hr for appraisal but he is very quick! Once appraisal in hand, insuring jewelry is fairly easy... its insuring vintage clothing is a whole other can of worms.

Sterling Trifari ?
A lady sold me a couple gallon zip lock bag full of jewelry with some clothes a couple weeks ago... Just now going thru it and this Sterling Trifari dress clip was in the mix. I've never had sterling Trifari before, would this have originally been a set? Are these hard to find ? I only see one feebay listing currently...
