Do you sometimes feel cheated?

Do you know the feeling, when buying online? You get the parcel and it is no larger than a matchbox and you hear yourself saying... "This is not the parcel, it must be larger!"
 
One of the common mistakes, when buying online.

"We simply do not read the entire description of the item, including size, quality etc., when buying online."  
 
I would definitely be disappointed, if I expected to get a parcel with the large dachshund and got the small one!  
 
Small and larger dachshund

TIPS:
 
Always take the time to read all the information on the website that you wish to buy from and if in doubt, contact the company before buying.
  
In case of the dachshund figurines you could make a mistake, if you only saw the pictures:
Large dachshund from Royal Copenhagen
Small dachshund from Dahl Jensen

Here you get your money's worth

If you are interested in old items, it is not the production costs that set the price, but supply and demand. - This means that you get your money's worth, if you do not go for the rare collectibles.
 
Below I show you some examples of figurines, where you will not feel cheated, when you receive the parcel!

Learn to spot the difference between 1st and 2nd quality

I am often asked about the difference between 1st and 2nd quality of Royal Copenhagen and Bing & Grondahl. This has prompted me to write a bit about it. Basically it is about an evaluation of the porcelain made in the factory after production. The finished porcelain was lookes over to see if they live up to the quality demands of the factory. Those that were deemed 2nd quality, where then sold at a lower price than 1st quality. Today only dinner service is sold as 2nd quality in factory sales, but the improved technique for burning the porcelain means that all the yearly cllector's items are sold as 1st quality now. In the past a large part of the production could be of a quality that did not meet the quality demand, which made it necessary to sell it as 2nd quality. However one must remember that the evaluation was made by people, so the evaluation of the porcelain could vary a lot, meaning that there was great difference in when figurines and plates were ju...
