Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

Has anyone had a "potential buyer"  ask what the reserve price is on an auction?  I have received two emails from a guy from Singapore.  The first time he wanted to know shipping costs (which was fine) and also what the price of my bear would be if he didn't want to go through bidding.  The question wasn't clear, but I thought he might be asking the reserve price in a round about way, or could have been asking for a sale outside of ebay.   Anyway, I gave him a shipping estimate and told him I couldn't give him a purchase price during an active auction. 

I just received another email from him specifically asking what the reserve price is.  I have looked on ebay and found nothing that says you cannot give out this information, so I think it's allowed.  I'm also wondering if I should give it out even if it is allowed?  It sounds like he is very interested, so I want to handle this right.  Any suggestions? 

Help please!

Thanks for the link, Kim.  I will be sure to check it out.  We rattie fans need to stick together    People who don't own rats just don't know what they're missing!

Wow!  Love both your hairless ratties!

Glad to see someone else who likes the pet rats.  They are awesome, huh?  I have two fancy rats (with hair!) named Annie and Betsy.  Annie is named after my grandma, who really, really dislikes rodents of any kind.  It started out as a joke, but Grandma is proud to announce now that she has a namesake!

Received this in an email the other day, in regards to the bears all of us artists make.............

"It would be hard not to fall in love with something that so much work goes into............maybe that's why God loves us so much?"

Just wanted to share that one.  I love it!
