Jewellery...
I have only bought a few little pieces for a Goddaughter. Nice little rings, genuine and made well but not antique/valuable. Just small, inexpensive, vintage things she liked. I had to pay my jeweller to resize them.. smaller ...Not that I minded.
At one stage I did have a peep at jewellery on-line, but I am extremely wary of buying jewellery, of any worth, using on line auction sites as I do not know the sellers. There must be some very trustworthy people dealing in Antique/Vintage jewellery who sell on-line.......?? Unless they now use their own web sites to sell quality jewellery.
Search...
I find the new search frustrating.
Auctions I do prefer auctions to BIN and used to love the fun of auction bidding. BIN is good if buyers need to know exactly what they will spend, of course. I always liked the thrill of the chase
