1) This is a forum for collectors, not dealers.
2) Sometimes it takes a while for a answer. Everyone here has a job, even two, and posts as a hobby. Not everyone knows all about Murano. Have some patience.
3) If you want a fast and accurate appraisal, don't be cheap. Pay for it. There are many appraisal companies on the net that will be very happy for your business. Don't demand that people take time out of their lives and research YOUR glass on YOUR time frame so YOU can satisfy YOUR curiosity. The forum does not revolve around you and your needs.
4) I do have an opinion on your glass, and its value, but think you would be better served by hiring an appraiser, rather than badgering forum members and whining.

By the way, all of the above was explained to you previously in this thread.

Nice :)

Brubaker39, you are wrong on so many levels, but I won't feed the trolls.
I can offer a referral to an appraiser if you wish. The going rate is around $100 and $200. In this case, it literally pays to be polite! I wish you luck in finding the value of your paperweight.

i miss good manners. it's a sad thing to me that people rarely hold doors open for one another anymore; say "please", "thank you" and "excuse me"... it's as if most folks now suppose that their time and effort is more valuable than that of others. i say bah! good manners are not dead, only sleeping. luckily some of us are still awake :)

...it's almost three weeks later, and here I am just posting a reply! Don't recognize that fish but I DO recognize self-centeredness, impaired manners, and just plain old immaturity when I see (or read) them. And I'm glad this forum won't tolerate it without the appropriately scathing responses. The above replies were all spot-on! I've totally enjoyed reading this thread.
