Each to their own, then - but that makes my prices ultra-low compared to a bricks-and-mortar antiques shop. I try to describe everything I sell as honestly as possible, including any damage, issues, or attributions to a maker, in my descriptions. If you have any questions, a problem with a piece you've bought, or even further info on a piece I'm selling (always welcome!) please mail me. Please don't ever leave negative or neutral feedback without speaking to me – we can always come to a solution.
