I found an accordion Scandalli the other day to a starter in Los Angeles. The bellows were damaged and some buttons work. But it was an accordion Scandalli about 1940 Many came to this for a fortune on eBay. The keys on the keyboard had a nice texture. It 'was $ 50 with a case, so I bought it - well, not exactly. There is a rule not second-hand store binders must be followed religiously.
If you do not know something, but not to buy,yes!
Warren Buffett, the Wizard of Omaha, was once asked why not invest in technology stocks during the dot-com bubble. His reply was very wise, like most of his answers. Second, I do not believe in the things that I do not know how to invest. During bubble dotcom while all colleagues purchased technology stocks was great space Mr. buy Buffet warehouse Midwest all the gold when led a turnover tenfold profit save.
I'm no Warren Buffet, butI am smart enough to follow his advice. I could have bought this accordion for 50 dollars and then horribly on eBay or Craigslist listed. I've been in this boat, and is not a good place to be.
Here are some of the questions that you will receive:
How much does it cost to get the bellows replaced?
What does it cost to have repaired the buttons?
It worked before they were damaged?
Are you sure that this model is from 1940?
If I was this repair work asNew?
There are answers to this question? If you do, Weird Al and Judy Tenuta, thank you for reading this article. But I know the answers to these questions. This situation represents a seller in the unenviable position of answering questions that have no precise answers. Remember to buy every item that is as action, not much different. The store you buy a current price of what you buy for it, but it is believed in a short timewill be worth more.
I've said before in this boat, here's what happens when I broke this rule. I was at a Goodwill in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles and had a Barbie doll, looking very old, very old even in a box. They wanted $ 350 for her because she knew it was a No. 1 Barbie. Me with my trusty iPhone, looked at him and seemed to be a Barbie No. 1. The zebra-striped bathing suit, goggles, smelling of crayons. They wanted $ 350, but selling them for $ 900 ormore. I stopped a businessman, when I bought the decision to buy the doll, I hope for a quick $ 600 or more profit. I reacted quickly, without thinking through everything.
Because of the high muzzle disappeared, I was holding a Barbie doll very old. Probably as old as my mother was an original owner of a Barbie doll in 1959. This doll was in incredible condition, but I needed to do more research. Did you know that having the original number 1 BarbieHoles in the feet, where they are positioned at the base of the doll to the merger? I did not know that either, and I just bought the doll does not have holes - but the smell of crayons.
No Barbie 2 and 3 Barbie look alike, but they changed the formula of plastic between the two. Guess what? Barbie # 2 smells like crayons, pastels, but not the smell Barbie No. 3. This is the only definable difference between the two. My doll really smell of crayons? Barbie sold for No. 2$ 600-900, but Barbie # 3 sold for $ 200-300. Hmm ... I just might lose $ 350 to win $ 50 or $ 250 or more. In what state is this doll? Apparently the original Barbie earrings are copper have a tendency to get all the information Bourbon Street with the rest of the doll, so that a corrosion layer of green around the ears of the doll. These are considerations that do not take into consideration when I bought this doll.
It turns out that I actually bought the Barbiea Barbie doll number 2, but I did not know this as a fact when I bought it. I avoided disaster and was able to sell the doll for $ 650, but was nervous all the time. If the buyer back, it was as good condition as I represent? I have thoroughly evaluated the end, just to be sure, but for two weeks I was worried that I get negative feedback or a return of the doll. Was it worth it? Absolutely not. I violated rule No. 1 and was lucky to get through it unscathed, butmade it difficult to sleep at night.
Repeat over and over again ... If you do not know anything, do not buy it! If you do not know anything, do not buy it! If you do not know anything, do not buy it!
