Nightmare Scenario! Expensive Tray Destroyed in Shipping Pt 2

[@moonchaserstudio]

Im so sorry this happened to you. Even broken, if I had it, I would display it proudly on my bookcase. It’s beautiful.

Thank you! As frustrating as it was that it happened in the first place, trying to file a claim to the post office was a completely different experience in frustration and futility! I'll finish the series talking about that, and I'll strip the tray of it's silver, at least I took the feet off so if someone damages theirs, they can find a replacement.

@@gmgssilverplate I still think there’s money to be made. You could sell the platter broken. People like me would buy it to use as a backdrop in a bookcase or on a mantle. A strategically placed plant or books would hide the missing handle.

Ahhh darn I didn't think that someone would still want it 😔 Instead all I was thinking is how I could recoup most value, and thought recovering the feet and the other handle, filing a damage claim, then scrapping it of its silver would give me the best chance to recoup what I spent on it. I'll remember what you said if this ever happens again.
