    Gerry, Excellent advice.  In the past, I too, have had people come to
    me with collections for purchase.  They have some smoke and mirror
    value with nothing at all to back it up and when I do make an offer
    they wail and knash their teeth.  Now I try to make it simple and
    tell them I will give them a fair price (fair to both) with the
    understanding that while the offer may sound low, it will take my
    time and experience to prepare the material (which they do not have)
    and I will have to find the market for it (which they do not have
    either). But I make only one offer and its take it or leave it.  In
    fact, these days I don't buy much unless it is really special....have
    too much stock as it is! 

    Cheers from Don at The Charles Belle Studio in SOFL where simple
    elegance IS fine jewelry and it hasn't rained in weeks and weeks!
