I would never sell it - I love it too much - but how much would you think it's worth? Also I would appreciate someone telling me my listing is incorrect.Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17064820642662988443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087940973013594269.post-71222609648633978212011-08-06T13:53:44.773-05:002011-08-06T13:53:44.773-05:00@richelle: That's how I feel too.

I think it's a natural reaction to feel a little embarrassment when someone points out a mistake, but I wouldn't want false pride to keep me from learning.<br /><br />I once posted something from 1st Dibs, only to find out that their listing was incorrect, and I had inadvertently passed that along. It didn't bother me at all for someone to point that out to me.Dana@Mid2Modhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03055460107477850683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087940973013594269.post-87271101861233387952011-07-17T23:16:29.602-05:002011-07-17T23:16:29.602-05:00I would gently tell them.

I will admit - I don't always like when people point out I have made a foolish error (I make enough errors that I can categorize them) but mostly because I am embarassed. However, it is far more embarassing to go on making the same mistake. Learning should be embraced and I think that sharing what you know is something you should feel comfortable doing. If a seller doesn't appreciate it, they need not reply.Tanya from Dans le Lakehousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04380013339154808400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087940973013594269.post-7448683421884538142011-07-17T18:48:41.619-05:002011-07-17T18:48:41.619-05:00@1950sarh: My SIL teases me about feeling compelle...@1950sarh: My SIL teases me about feeling compelled to help people identify items. A few months ago I identified a table for someone locally, and later my SIL met her while out looking for things to buy. Thanks to me, that was one piece he didn't pick up on the cheap. :)Dana@Mid2Modhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03055460107477850683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087940973013594269.post-20135032633113845802011-07-17T17:30:19.412-05:002011-07-17T17:30:19.412-05:00Dana, I see them, the mis-identified items, but I ...Dana, I see them, the mis-identified items, but I usually pass them by. I scroll through hundreds of auctions, so don't want to take the time, to be honest.<br /><br />I'd profit off them too if it was in my favor, but too often other collectors see the mistake too lol...

I've shared information with several people who were appreciative of the heads-up, but a few have acted like they thought I was the one who was misinformed, so I have decided to let people do their own research...or not...as they see fit.Dana@Mid2Modhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03055460107477850683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087940973013594269.post-24335734586126660992011-07-17T01:52:53.431-05:002011-07-17T01:52:53.431-05:00I have been wrestling with this as well Dana and h...I have been wrestling with this as well Dana and have taken to poking my nose in a lot less of the time now. <br /><br />My favorite recently was the Ebay vendor who swore to me that Raymor distributed Thonet...Jonathan Goldsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03541901365888585260noreply@blogger.com
