No reason why to support her claim, just "It's fake". I added an edit to the auction adding that I had gotten a message saying the bottle was fake, let the damned buyers judge for themselves. 9 times out of 10 a vintage bottle is only used for display anyway. Plus, the "informer" hasn't sold or bought anything in months, I am unsure whether to believe her or not, seeing as sometimes sellers of high-end shit will make several accounts in order to interfere with other people's business.
Then I log onto Etsy, and see a cheap low-ball offer for some plates I have on there. I had them at $25 to begin with, then I lowered them to $15, then I lowered them again to $7.00 to get rid of them and this person wants me to cut her a "deal". Deal? What the hell do you think I paid for these things? They weren't free! But since I have 3 sets, I think she may want all 3, which would give me a few extra bucks and free up space in my little kitchen cabinet...but ugh, I hate being lowballed.
Well, that went well. Here's the entire exchange. It figures she's from California, and is blonde. LOL
Me:Hello! Do you think we could make a deal on this item? I just got married and im in college, plus our new apartment. Im still trying to collect and I fell in love with this set but im on a low budget. Hopefully we can make something out of it!
I have three sets of these, you just want the one right? I can go $5.00
Her:
yeah. But I can only do $7 total. The shipping is kind of what throws everything off for me
Me:
There's no way I can ship it to CA for under $10, it's too heavy.
What the fuck? Yeah, sure I love paying for an item, then wasting time doing a write-up and photographs, paying for the listing (Twice! because this same set got bought and then cancelled on me before) and then even MORE I love giving the thing away and actually losing money on shipping it. Ridiculous. I am willing to bet she's a pegasister, LOL.
