Val St Lambert Crystal Decanter & Stopper, Signed, Tag, 1st Place Golf Trophy

Description: Look at the photos & try to convince me this isn’t one of the finest looking Decanters you have ever seen. This would be the main presentation piece for any bar, office, living room or man cave. CHRISTMAS IS LESS THAN 100 DAYS AWAY, get a head start, it will be here before you know it. Up for your consideration is our most recent & prominent Estate Sale Pickup. A Mint Condition, Like NEW, VAL St. Lambert Emerald Cut Crystal Decanter / Golf Pro-Am Tournament 1st Place Trophy. Approximate Dimensions are 10” x 4” & it is very heavy weighing in at 4.75 Lbs. the Etching base is frosted & polished. Gorgeous light reflections & is fun to photograph. It is a marvelous piece & I simply cannot find any flaws whatsoever, no chips, just perfect from any angle. The light reflection is just stunning. The photos are great but do it no justice, it is more stunning in person. This piece also doubles as a PGA Pro-Am 1st Place Trophy. No telling what this custom order piece cost the PGA. The stopper is designed like a golf ball. They retail is from $500-$700 which I find ridiculously low considering the cost comparisons to there current production line of Decanters which are not in the same league as this masterpiece. This design is perfect, very tasteful & the etching is not overpowering. If golfing is not your thing, the decanter can simply be displayed with the etching at the rear or side depending on how & where it is displayed. It can’t really be easily noticed if displayed right. I’m not a big gold fan but the etching is so exquisite that I would surely display it prominently. Val St. Lambert has been in business since 1826 in Belgium making Hand Crafted one of a kind Crystal in unrivaled quality. I included a copy of 3 of the 4 Decanter’s currently manufactured & a few WorthPoint sale sheets of the same type item. I have examined, researched authenticated this item to the best of my ability based on over 30 years of experience. I utilize various websites, WorthPoint, Manufacturer Sites, EBay, Etsy Google as well as many other reference materials in combination with original item manuals & common sense to arrive at my conclusions. I have sat down for hours researching an item that is not even worth over $75 because I enjoy learning & the Marine in me wants to get it right. I will mention such methods & referenced material including adding copies of my research to you, the buyer so that it will save you time & help you make an informed decision on your own. The most important method of conveying an item is by providing rich, vivid, focused, closeup well lit & detailed photographs for you in such a way as to come to your your own conclusion. Thanks for checking my sale out. Shipping is FREE including insurance & the item will be seriously padded. Quick synopsis. Thanks for checking my post out. I scan the better estate sales near east side of Atlanta & only purchase modern new items or small antique’s such as coins. My inventory will change every few days so please check back. Scroll down and find any section that you have questions about. I will answer any messages within 24 hours. I had a very large platinum T.R. power seller eBay act back in the day. I am just doing this to stay busy since I’m retired & been bored. 🙂 I am currently setting up a Ecwid Account that will post my sales on several sites & this is a work in process. RESEARCH & POSTING: I research every item before I post including eBay past & current prices including the same item sale price when sold recently. Anything important that I find online while researching I will include in the description section. ITEM CONDITION & PRICING: I scan current eBay pricing of the same item I am going to post & if not on eBay I will scan other sites. I will list every item below the main grouping of the average price. The vast majority of my posts will be New Unused items in the original factory packaging, or Like New items without package or lightly used. That’s what I look for along with antique smalls at Estate Sales. Makes life much easier for Me & the Buyer. Items such as coins, cards, military antiques have to be examined carefully authenticity & condition which I have over 40 years experience. I will post the actual condition of items including if a coin has been cleaned which will substantially de-value the coin. Unfortunately, many rare collectible coins have been ruined by being cleaned ever since coins were around & it’s just something we have to deal with. PHOTOS: I will post excellent clear photos of the actual item on all my auctions. This is so important for buyers. On some posts, I may add a stock image just to provide better details of the said item. I will state in the description section which are stock images if I post any. I take great pains when photographing all items. This is the best way to allow potential buyers to analyze & judge condition of each item. I really think that most buyers strictly purchase going only by the photos. ***Most buyers strictly go by the photos of an item once they click on it to decide on there purchase. After pulling up an item, 85% of the time on that sale is spent observing the photos, 10% then goes to the price plus shipping & I am being generous saying 5% towards the written description. Then they scroll down the list checking out photos / prices. But the percentages I am posting is after clicking on a particular item. So adding clear accurate photos are very crucial. SHIPPING: *** LOCAL PICKUP AVAILABLE (Atlanta East Area) *** My postage charges on most items will be FREE, If I add postage, it will be below actual cost or I just use the eBay automatic add if I am in a hurry getting items posted. This is the worst part of eBay or any online business. Postage cost has risen substantially over the past few years & according to a postal employee I recently spoke with stated that prices have resin every year & will continue to do so. Last time I dealt with shipping issues was about 10 years ago. I was floored when I got a list of prices from the local USPS location. The cost has about doubled on priority mail & regular ground ship. It’s really difficult for us to offer true free shipping. Then, you have to factor in the envelopes, padded envelopes, tape & other packing supplies. I picked up some stuff at Walmart to get me by until I can order some bulk items online from a supplier I used to use. And even his prices have risen. By the time I got out of Walmart, I had spent almost $200 on supplies just to set up for fast shipping. 😑 If you see Free shipping on an eBay item, I assure you that the seller has factored that cost into the item price. Just check out an item & scan the prices. I’m sure you have noticed that the item cost will be very closely matched when comparing total cost with the free shipping compared to the seller with shipping cost. Just scan down the list on for instance a $30 item. Just quickly add the total cost of item + shipping cost vs item cost with free ship. The item going down the list will closely match to $30 bucks with the exception of the seller that is posting that $30 item for $300 😂. It happens,,, I will deliver Free locally within 25 miles of my location. That will cover most of the east side of Atlanta all the way to about the Atlanta Airport. I also have a lot of nice used tools & yard equipment such as rakes, hammers, sledge hammers, staple guns, various air tools including some nice commercial nail guns, wrench’s, screw drivers, pliers, saws, a big double table grinder & much more. All his stuff works & most is just in used condition. The rakes and big stuff is just not worth posting on eBay. If interested in anything, I can make a quick eBay post for real cheap or I can meet locally. Most of the used stuff is Free to a good home or very low price to cover fuel cost during BidenEconomics. International selling is something started by eBay & I accepted. We ship to their main hub & then they handle it from there & get the package out. I ship within 24 hours so after I mail, that ends my control. eBay also handles returns. The shipping cost will be calculated by eBay & added. I cannot offer free or reduced shipping internationally. Again, this is all new, if eBay does not factor in shipping, I reserve the right to cancel any international sale. RETURNS: All my listings will have a 30 or 60 day return policy. I have your back completely. Over 20 years of selling on eBay, I cannot recall ever having a return & I have sold a ton of items over the years. If you receive something & change your mind & return the item, the buyer is responsible for shipping on returns. If there is an issue with the item during the return time frame, let me know so I can resolve it. This could be receiving an item broken during shipping or a defective item. If this occurs, I will pay for the return shipping. The item needs to be returned with all accessories & be in the same condition as when received. Each issue is unique & will be handled depending on the problem. FEEDBACK: If there is any problems whatsoever on your purchase, please communicate with me & allow me to fix the problem. I assure you that you will be completely satisfied in the end. I will also handle any issues in a very fast & timely fashion. Please don’t post a negative without giving me the chance to address any issues. There is no way I can do this if I don’t know about it. I try and post positive feedback on sales same day as payment is received. I’m not going to play the game of holding it waiting on the buyer. Soon as payment is received, that is the end of the buyers responsibility so positive feedback is the only option. EBAY COMMUNITY: eBay is a great platform since they have a 100% Refund program so they have buyers back. There are many great sellers & buyers here. It’s a great place to do business. We may not agree with all the eBay policies & guidelines but it’s there house so we got to go by there rules. Most everything is set up great by eBay & I commend there dedication to keeping this a nice place to do business. I have met a few very good friends over the years on eBay. The real thing that I see that totally sucks since I have been off eBay is that taxes are being charged now. And checking accounts are a must to sale on eBay. They are phasing out PayPal so that’s good. Sellers can no longer utilize PayPal to receive payments. If you are still paying PayPal when checking out on eBay, stop. You can add your debit / credit card straight to eBay & skip paying the PayPal fee. I have spoke to eBay reps on an issue where I bought a camera that ended up being a Chinese knockoff that would not work. Ended up being described as having a higher SD Card support which was false. The eBay reps responded quickly & actually stayed on top of it. I was very impressed. Overall, all looks good here. Coins / Antiques you may have: If you come across any old coins like say from family members, please don’t clean any of them including especially not rubbing the surface with anything. Get with a local coin shop & have them checked out. If none is available, shoot me a message and I can help you or get you to the right place. I also will purchase coin collections for my personal use. Just let me know. Just BS INFO about your seller & some info if you have any questions about my listings. I was simply bored & in the mood to draft something 🤣🤣🤣, however, if you want to know anything about your sellers posts, just find the section above; ABOUT ME: 🙂 I’m sure no one will read all this but at least I can say I laid it all out honestly 😅 If you have a potential area of interest about my policies, just scroll down & check out the sections. My posts are from local estate sales & my inventory changes weekly & most times daily. Thanks for checking me out. I once had a very large eBay account years ago when I had a store front business. I was a Platinum Power Seller with 100% feedback for many years. I sold the business along with all internet accounts & I am old now so I have Retired. I recently started out doing a little bit of small eBay business since I am retired & have been extremely bored. I have over 40 years experience dealing with coins, selective small antiques & past military weapons. I have been buying from Estate Sales in the outer Atlanta East area on weekends. Every week, my inventory changes while I post new finds. I have no idea what will come home with me every weekend so check back with me weekly & check out my stuff. If you see something you like, make an offer. I will accept any reasonable offer. I am certified: PCGS Authorized Dealer NGC Authorized Dealer Dealing with me is the easy button. If there is any problems at all, please send me a message & allow 24 hours for a reply. I’m retired on a government check so I’m not some ruthless company pushing millions of products that have no customer service or the ones that do are in another country & struggle with the English language & typically have no clue what’s up. It’s just me & I am keeping it small as a hobby to stay active. So the buck stops here & you get to deal with my old a**. 😁 This is 24/7, all 7 days of the week. Please don’t post a negative because I assure you that I can solve any issue to your satisfaction within a very fast time frame. Again, Items I sale are from estate sales from the Atlanta area. If you are in this area & wish to pick up your item locally, just let me know so we can arrange pickup. I mostly only purchase new items that are in there original packaging for resale. Most of these I do not open, so I am at the mercy of the manufacturer and date the item was purchased by the original buyer. Some items such as power tools, I will fully check out the batteries and the power tools and certify that all is good before posting it. I have a lot of life experience dealing with power equipment, batteries & tools. I also purchase small antiques that I have experience with & of course most of these will not be new. Anyways, thanks for checking me out. If you read all this, you are more bored than me & that’s bad 🤣🤣🤣 Have a great day my friend,,,, 😊 Track Page Views WithAuctiva's Counter
