Maybe with the 4 you purchased he might give you a better deal on the others. I am still waiting to see a collection from a person around here. I dont know if he will ever sell. Hope you get a great deal on the other pieces. Try to buy the ones with color like red, green, blue and black and any with swirls is always a good color. The plain white like in the pic is going to be the least desired color for most. Dont forget to post them when you get them.

Now that one sounds good. Yeah seeing you are buying some it is a buyers market rite now. Ask him what he feels is a fair price and then offer half and then let him counter offer. Before you offer half let him know you arent trying to offend him then make your offer. See what he says you can always change your offer to a higher but you cant never offer less than the first offer. Start low and then move up.

Most of the ones I have bought has been in collections, I prefer just to buy the whole collection if I can, you get a way better price and don't really have to worry about fakes so much. Why has the market fallen so bad? Is it because of the economy or reproductions are so prevalent ? Or something else?

 

[rock]

Both economy and reproductions. Most are collecting the repros and the Historical artifacts rite now. The ancient ones like what you purchased for $15 is going for 2-3$ each. I can get the small ones for .50-1.50 each believe it or not. I bought 9 pieces for $8 not long ago and had some nice colors in the mix. If the price is rite I will buy them to hold onto for a few yrs. I havent bought many lately though.

This just gets me.
Somehow that reminds me of going out to purchase a vehicle .. looking for the right horsepower engine, the right make and model,..ect..ect..
Then the little lady says " I like the pretty blue one."

LOL you are a funny person. I would guess he is going to resell the pieces he likes the least just trying to help. I like you anyway GB.
