Attention Buyer:

Do you really think you will receive a high quality item for one penny or ninety nine cents?

I know everyone is looking for a bargain on ebay - but it is extremely doubtful that you will get a well-made, quality piece of anything for one penny or 99 cents.  If you want poorly made trash - go ahead and bid on a penny item, but don't be surprised if the item you receive really is junk.

Please be aware that there are many sellers on ebay who offer junky items for $.01 and a bit higher because they are Only Worth that!  Please use common sense.  Trust your instincts.  A penny item or a cheaply priced item is often a piece of trash.

You will see dozens (perhaps hundreds) of sellers listing all kinds of trashy items - including Fake Murano Glass - among other items.  Many/most of these sellers then charge you $25 and up for shipping - but the item is still junk.

Sure, once in awhile a good seller offers decent items starting at very low prices, but not very often.  Check every seller's feedback before bidding, and check to see if he/she has been offering the same items over and over with the exact same photos.  This may be a clear indication that the seller is offering trashy, worthless items.  Do you really want to buy such junk?  It would be far smarter to invest in a high quality treasure - perhaps a Vintage or Antique item that will rise in value.

Please realize that there are hundreds, perhaps thousands, of sellers on ebay who are simply trying to steal your money.  Don't fall for poor quality cheaply priced items offered by dishonest sellers.

A KNOWLEDGEABLE BUYER IS A SMART BUYER
