Happy Holidays from Amanda and Ben

Vintage sellers all come with their own knowledge base. From the experts to the novices, we can't know everything and we all make mistakes sometimes. So what do we do when it happens? On the buying end or selling, the way we handle our reactions and responses when we are questioned or corrected can make or break our reputation and business. Amanda gets into it all this week.
