“ ich habe kuerzlich Ihre web site über die Rugendasfamilie gefunden, welche ich von grosser inhaltlicher Qualität und Interesse finde … ”
(Señ. G. E., 19. Dezember 2003)
Der vielfach höchst individuelle oder gar unikate Charakter der hier vorgestellten Objekte läßt es wenig hilfreich erscheinen, in jedem einzelnen Falle einen Preis zu nennen. Denn ganz unabhängig von diesem führt undifferenzierender Vergleich zu Fehlinformation. Das aber entspricht gerade nicht unseren an das Internet gestellten Erwartungen. Bitte faxen Sie in diesen Fällen wegen ausführlicher Beschreibung nebst Preisangabe und erfragen Sie solche gegebenenfalls auch anderwärts. Damit Sie nicht einfach billig kaufen, sondern wirklich preisgünstig. Eine Maxime, die sich mir selbst immer wieder bewahrheitet hat. Und das seit schon fünfzig Jahren! Es ist der beste Ratschlag, den ich Ihnen weitergeben kann. Denn verdanken tue ich ihn dem sagenhaft reichen und daher sehr vorsichtigen amerikanischen Bankier J. Pierpont Morgan, „einem der größten Sammler aller Zeiten.
