<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JCro57, post: 3042361, member: 92083&quot;]I wasn&#039;t nasty at all in any way with my response. I asked you what you thought it was worth after the fact, and I wanted to illustrate that experts agreed so that you didn&#039;t think I was pulling a number out of nowhere. I am not here to impress anyone. I only &quot;brought it up&quot; because you chimed in about the value of it.</p><p><br /></p><p>And all I did was simply base it off of sales of relatively similar prices that were at auctions recently to show those experts have a good record at valuing pieces for what auctions go for. It wasn&#039;t and isn&#039;t a definite or absolute value. How else are you supposed to gage it when giving ball park figures? Expert opinions and recent auctions are worthless?</p><p><br /></p><p>I am a friendly, personable, tolerant person. I am not a bomb-thrower, a troll, or someone who instigates trouble. My posts and comments to others reflect that. I ask questions and love reading responses. I enjoy this site and never, ever get nasty when someone proves I am wrong. I love to learn. I know more than the average person in this country about errors because few people collect and even fewer collect errors, but I do not know more than everyone. In fact, most people in this forum know waaaaay more than myself. I learn every day. It does not intimidate me. I am OK being wrong and understanding why I was, and then enjoy educating others about what I learned. But what I don&#039;t enjoy are people who are consistently rude and condescending and seem to actually enjoy being so. I have read many of your comments on several other threads; you are the rudest person on here who isn&#039;t a one-time poster. You stir up the pot and love to instigate. Several people agree based on their comments to you or about you in many other threads, so please, spare me that it is me who is a troublemaker here.</p><p><br /></p><p>I really do believe you are a smart guy, are very knowledgeable, and love this hobby. I even agree with You 100% that there is no guarantee someone would pay $1,000 for it. I bet some wouldn&#039;t even pay $10 for it. It is only worth what someone is willing to pay.</p><p><br /></p><p>But I only put that value on it because it is such a rare piece that I wanted to know if I should therefore relabel it. My estimation is based on the best info I found. I am sorry you disagree, and don&#039;t care either.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
