royal doulton and lladro figures

Greetings to you all. How manyeBayers have won a figurine purported to be either in mint condition or perfect condition and, when you've received it, you have found chipped or damaged flowers. Buyers beware of the misleading descriptions on listings for figurines, especially those which have bouquets or baskets of flowers with petals and buds. Some sellers are just blatantly dishonest or"economical with the truth" so, when you see a figurine listed as in mint or perfect condition, please e-mail sellers with pertinent questions on the condition of the flowers BEFORE you place your bid and askthem todouble checkthe flowerswith a jeweller's loupe, paying particular attention tounderneath and the edges of them. If there isn't agood clarity, close-up picture of the flower(s), always ask for one to be either inserted in their listing or e-mailed to you. May I suggest that, if there isn't a picture of the backstamp on thefigurine, also ask seller for one to be inserted in the listing and don't forget to ask if the figurine is a SECOND or FIRST QUALITY. There are unscrupulous sellers out there.


I hope this information will serve as a warning and encourage all potential buyers of figurines to ASK SELLER CRUCIALQUESTIONS ON CONDITION OF FLOWERS/PETALS/BUDS and,most importantly,whether there are any missing in the display.


I speak from experience so please take heed of my advice. I was a victim but not anymore.
