<p>[QUOTE="Jebocement, post: 3090550, member: 93093"]I sold a vintage coat on Ebay a few years ago and started bidding for .99 cents. Free shipping too. There was only one bidder. So, I honored the sale and shipped the coat. Three months later the purchaser wrote me a note saying they had taken the coat to an Arizona museum and authenticated it to be original from a certain American Indian designer of the 1900's. The guy sold the coat to the museum for $35,000. I figured if I was so stupid as to not have identified the value of the coat, then the guy had the right to take advantage of the sale. Additionally, it made for a great story that I HAVE NEVER TOLD MY HUSBAND! In conclusion, I feel my ignorance was someone else's gain. (Sorry to compare a coat to a coin. But, as we used to say in Hawaii: "same smell.") <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
