Hi Joost,
Thanks for the info. I am off to look up your reference - I don't own the piece it is up on ebay right now. Just curious to know if it is identified properly.
Cheers
Hi Joost,
I think holding back and being selective comes with a bit of collecting "maturity". It is only over time that we learn to look at the finer details rather than the fact that an item is available. It becomes doubly difficult when you are in a store and feel pressure to buy something. It takes time and opportunity to develop relationships with vendors so they realize they are going to lose your good faith by selling junk. Of course finding items of quality when living in Canada is difficult.
