Great experts in Catawiki. Does anyone know the fools?


Recommended Posts

Dear Simon.

 

There was another link to this site where all the descriptions were weird, to say the least.  Not to defend the expertise or lack thereof but I wondered if the original was catalogued in French and what we see is the result of a dodgy translation.  I could not otherwise account for descriptions that proudly stated tsuba were cast iron , rather like this menpo.  

 

All the best.

The reason is prosaic
When you go to sell an item through Catawiki, they require you to fill in the item details
And the problem is that you only have the opportunity to choose one of the options offered
It is possible to enter your own description, but it is a bit difficult
And because most people are a little lazy, they choose some of the predefined options
And the result is like this
