I mentioned during Brad's auction yesterday the heron he had for sale was not a Carnegie. I would like to show why (aside from the fact it was unsigned). Here are 3 versions but only one is authentic (and signed). Can you pick which it is.

I pay a lot of attention to reviews when I make a purchase. That being said Im terrible about leaving them and would like to leave more notable ones, especially for newer sellers. I have noticed that most of the sellers I buy from have reviews from approx 10-20% of their items sold, so maybe Im not the only one that reads rather than write. My questions are ‘Do you check a sellers reviews before you purchase from them?’ And if you do ‘Are there certain things you look for? Or do you just see if customers are satisfied in general?’

I took the risk on a lot I found on eBay. I wrote about it a couple of weeks ago. It met most of my criteria in buying, except one. Lots of pictures but no pics of the backs. It was a bad risk I made. There really wasn’t anything to salvage. Main issue was the smell. It was dirty and dusty and attacked my asthma something fierce. I reached out to seller, in a very nice way and asked for a $12.00 refund (I paid $44). She wrote back apologizing profusely saying she buys tons of estates, hadn’t gone through it except to take pictures. She refunded me $32.00. Even without her refund the whole event gave me an opportunity to flex my wings and just try. I see now what I should have done in selecting. Complete learning experience. Thanks Team Skool!!

I’ve been selling for about 15 months on Whatnot now. , I have had my streams at the same time for the last 10 months and took time to schedule my streams without conflicting with sporting events and can’t help but challenge myself to do better. I’m not a jewelry hound yet but doing great in the outdoors category. I am curious at how others choose their time slots? Thanks in advance

Could you please provide me with some sorting tips? I inherited over 1,500 brooches, 100 necklaces, 80 rings, 75 bracelets, etc. I do have it sorted by type and stored in plastic fishing lure type containers that hold 20 in each. Should I take one container at a time? Then go like a conga line. Spitshine it. Test stone with Presidium. Test material with acid. Take photos. Conduct price and use research. Write a description. List for sale. Take the next container. So on. I will obviously need to do some in lots. Am I making this too much work? Likely. On a good note... I don't have any untangling shows to look forward to!! I have had a significant health change, and the last thing I need is to leave this chaos to family. Wait a minute! @vintagescott is a expert lister now.😊 Ever been to Canada Scott?
