Quote: “I have learned to ask questions such as” etc etc .

Yes, having sold collectables for several years, I have come across people, who even though I have stated …

Excellent Condition … no chips, no cracks, no crazing … in my description …

They ask similar questions … does the item have any chips ? … or ... does the item work ? etc etc .

I find that downright insulting and ignorant …

When you ask questions like that, you are basically asking me if I am lying in my description !!!!!!!!! .

You are then put on “my special list” and given an abrupt and curt reply .

Do I lose buyers ? 

No, my items always sell well, and I do not want you as a buyer anyway … who wants a buyer with such bad manners.
