Broken item from Hunt Auctions question

ask for a $60.00 refund and negotiate downward till you are comfortable with the final price

Not familiar with mugs and their prices, but if damaged the value must spiral downward dramatically, like a '52T Mantle, badly creased, dog-eared corners and missing paper. First, I'd ask for a couple of current cond. pics, since it no longer looks like the catalog pic. If the body of the stein is just cracked, that might be ok. But if the body has broken / chipped pieces, maybe not. If the handle separated cleanly from the stein, Gorilla Glue may be your best friend.

+1. I would say $60-75. Assume you lost one-third of the lot, and ask for a one-third refund - easy logic that both sides can agree on.

I got an email back from them today. I asked for $70 refund and they said ok! Thanks guys!! Should've asked for $80!

I asked for ENOUGH. They gave me ENOUGH. I am happy ENOUGH.

Sounds like a win-win!! If you asked for 80 they might have said NO.
