<p>[QUOTE="Jebocement, post: 3090853, member: 93093"]I also just purchased 8 vintage crystal champagne glasses from Ebay where the seller started her bidding at .99 cents with $20 shipping. I won the sale for $1.25. The seller honored the sale and shipped not 8, but NINE crystal glasses. Each glass was identified with an individual maker's number and all were labeled Baccarat. The replacement cost of each glass was approximately $450 A STEM! I immediately contacted the Seller and advised her of her mistake. I told her I purchased the glasses in order to have some fun with friends while watching the Royal Wedding and to pour pink champagne. I advised I would return the beautiful stemware because it would simply be wrong to take advantage of her innocent mistake. The precious woman returned my message by responding that she had inherited the glasses, never had used them, and would prefer they be enjoyed in a happy home with a happy party. She explained "it was what her Mother would have wanted her to do. I sent the lady a beautiful bouquet of flowers, a bottle of fine pink champagne, photos of my tea party, and a HUGE thank-you note. I STILL can't believe I own 9 BACCARAT champagne glasses and how kind and generous this wonderful lady was to me!!!!!!! If you have a good eye and know what you are looking for, Ebay can be a very, very good place to shop. However, I also purchased an AU55 1873 closed 3 $20 CC gold Double Eagle on Ebay for $4800 and it turned out to be counterfeit. Ebay and Paypal ensured my refund, but I still had to pay $40 in insurance to return the item. Ha. Life is funny sometimes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
