Good Luck is finding something you love, true fortune is finding a PAIR!
Was out shopping this morning and bumped into another dealer who I always call with "heads ups" on the things he looks for, and he steered me towards these lovely babies. Nice pair of patio chairs to go with our other Van Kepple and Green loungers.
It sometimes pays to let other people know what you love.
I do try to steer clear of the parasitic types who want to sit on my shoulder and drain me for info. I'm not a library or a price guide. It's a pet peeve of most dealers to have someone expect a guide to identifying and pricing items. Especially when the parasite is another dealer.
Recently a dealer called about a pair of chairs I had on the site, she wanted to know who my restorer was, where I bought the fabric, who the maker was, how to tell who the maker is, who I used for shipping, and how much she ought to price hers for. Umm.. obnoxious much? Do your own research lady, geez!
It's common though.
When people see that what you have is selling, they want to know all about it. I used to be more than happy to share info, but after a while you realize it's not usually a two way street.
*sigh*
HAPPY DANCE for the chair pair!!
