I was just looking up a couple of items to bid on and found a couple of interesting things. I found a very unique item that has a reserve on it just above the starting price(I emailed to ask reserve amount), it has no bids. This is a pottery piece that has not one word in the description about the condition of the items. A markedly inferior set of the same thing is getting all kinds of bids. The seller here has been very good about pointing all flaws out.

Then went looking for a very well known doll. Found the model of doll but the brand name of the doll is nowhere in the title or description. I feel bad for the seller because it is closing today and I doubt it gets more than one bid, if any. It would be almost impossible for the millions of collectors of this doll to find it.

Sorry to be picky but something is unique or not - an absolute - not variations.

You could tactfully tell the seller how to improve the description, but it will not always be appreciated.

Buy it and resell it with the kind of description it deserves

buy it and resell with the description it deserves. I plan on doing just that abacaxi. The item is unique because there are many parts to it, all ceramic. It is from the 50's and the parts are all there. The other one listed is only half there.
