@stormtreasures I believe you are much too generous with your compliment. Alternatively, I am giving you the well-deserved accolades. I will return my perusal and assessment with future purchases. On that note, the item is sent a like to was underpriced upon my initial opinion. Is there some evidence of "pitting"? Perhaps the reason it was actually priced fairly.

You and your taste are a paragon of excellence and with impeccable taste. A unique, true lady. Just assuredly, the premier page on this platform, if not any other. Beste, Maximilian. Will text you again later this week and refer and "share". Also, may I ask you, if ever uncertain regarding a provenance, please inquire . Although relatively expensive, it would be a pleasure to offer my services or humble opinion pro bono.

@stormtreasures Apologies, I am unfamiliar with respect of reaching you, apart from my "about" page. The sterling tray was $3500. It is more than likely still salvageable, but in my prior experience with museum silversmiths, I recommend immediate attention. I do hope I've helped a bit. Anything for my new friend.

We have much in common, a taste for the finer things! a great way to achieve your goal is to see if you can make a satisfactory trade! It’s how I have had to obtain some treasures I could otherwise not have obtained! Your closet of collections are true treasures like your Dali, & other items, I will visit your closet often and try to list something you might consider trading

Thank you for your message regarding the Cartier watch. I am very interested in purchasing it. If you can send me an offer with your bottom line, that would be great. Thank you! Amy

@amyroulier I certainly will. My sincerest apologies in the interim.

My wife says that although she wants me to purchase an 18k upgrade, it's hers. I'll keep working towards selling this at a loss to get her then new one. Appreciate your understanding that Poshmark will not take lower than 20%, and I am past my 30-day return policy even to upgrade, although will talk to higher-ups within Cartier. I am trying to please everyone as usual, lol.
Feb 27Reply

amyroulier
@sybaritica sounds good. I am also happy to work out something on another secure platform that might take less of a percentage from you. Best of luck - hopefully Cartier will be reasonable and let you return it towards the cost of the upgrade!! Thank you for your quick communication.
Feb 27Reply

sybaritica
@amyroulier that's a good idea. I'll look into it or get back with you on an offer soon.
