Interesting to see how different things are across the pond, here in the States, at least in California, crystal and art glass are damn near unsellable. It has to be the finest American Brilliant Cut or Moser to sell, and often at steep discounts. Lalique and Baccarat appear to do better, but it may just be the brand-name recognition.
Hi Walter. Thanks for sharing your finds. I am glad that people are still buying crystal in your area. I had a garage sale recently. I tried to sell crystal for between $2 to $5 and a boxed Aynsley knife for $2; no one was interested. I'll try them again later, and see what happens. I wish that I could "teleport" them to a car boot sale and sell them in Wales!
Hi Hun, Crystal is doing very well here atm, i dont normally by things like aynsley but the public in the valley's are after cheap pretty collectables that they can use and i have a few collectors of aynsley and royal albert, shocking i know.
Great interesting video as usual. I have found some crystal but I'm struggling to see the signature you Have pointed out in previous videos. Try as I might. I can do the finger flicking thing and checking for dings.
Love Whitefriars. Back in vogue, again. Nice Krony mirror, absolute bargain, Walter. How does the shop selling, compare to e-bay, mate? I don't get much for crystal on ebay, these days.
Hi Joe, Thank you , The shop is going good mate thank you, compared to ebay there is so much less stress but i have lost lots of my freedom. on ebay if crystal isnt signed waterford they cant find it, in the shop they can handle it , feel the weight, see how beautiful it is then buy on impulse.
