i consult for an auction house in UK - they recompense me for the work,- however they rarely add my descriptions correctly!
anyway i still like the job because i regularly get to see and inspect a lot of images of extraordinary beads, and personally, regardless of inaccuracies i'm still learning from looking closely at many bead items-
and as you say, if the descriptions are wild and wacky, or rather dull, there's still a chance to discover amazing things sometimes at low prices-
