This little angel fish measures about 2 5/8" tall, 2 3/8 inches long and 1 1/8 inches wide at the base. He is turquoise and unmarked. I have seen the same shape listed as Shawnee on ebay, but in my Shawnee book he is not pictured. There is an angelfish in the book, but his mouth is droopy and quite different. I haven't been able to find this fish anywhere else on the internet. I've done searches for vintage pottery fish/ angelfish. My Shawnee book is dated 1994, so maybe he is in a newer book? Does anyone recognize this fishy? Thanks for the help!
Hello again! I can't seem to stay away! I am confindent I'll get accurate "expert" opinions from you! This time I have acquired what I think is an Antique/Vingate Cannetille Filigree Elephant. He is marvelous and finely wired. Bright Enamel accents and toes.
Bale is marked SILVER. Does that help date it? It appears to have a gold wash? I love the chain. Have included a photo of the original box if that helps. Is it Turkish? Chinese? Old new? I haven't found anything similar! Thank you again!!
I am looking for input on identifying the actual letters used in this seal or its original paper wrapper. Due to their elaborate nature the opinions so far have differed.
The wrapping paper, which I've provided two 180 degree opposing views, shows how the the seal's impression will actual appear while looking directly at the seal face on provides a horizontally reversed image of how it will actually appear.
On my account, under "not received" is listed $102.85. What are those funds? I only have 2 buyers who haven't yet paid and those total about $20. What the heck is $102.85 not received? Thanks!
I have a heavy bronze vase that has an inscription on the inside bottom, but I am not sure if it is of Chinese or Japanese origin to even begin to identify it. Any help with it will be greatly appreciated! Thank you. Katie
thank you in advance for any help. Marigold bowl 5 3/4" x 3 1/2". I don't know what color the other one is the bottom looks cobalt blue to me. 6 1/2" x 2 3/4".
I obtained at an estate auction a large set of matching barware: champagnes in 2 sizes and old fashioned glasses. I have struck out searching to ID; anyone recognize them? (I am guessing they are 1970s but could be totally wrong). Thanks to all of you who read this!

Ok, had to share this wonderful exotic lizard pin. I believe it dates from the 1900's based on research about the "tube hinge" pinback? Am I right? The rhinestones have a slightly blue tinge. Could they be another gem? White Shapphire?
And it seems to have some marvelous Tribal designs, as if it were African or Egyptian? The metal seems to test for 10kt gold. I do have a jeweler I'd like to show it to, but couldn't resist hearing what the "experts" here had to say! It's a small pin; 2 3/4" x 1/2" Thank you again!!
I am assuming this is for a watch. The chain o the band is to attach watch so it does not get lost. The band stretches and as seen in the photos the top area moves when pinched ...possible for an oval watch if need be or something maybe a locket? Hoping others have directional help and/or known what this is called to help me with additional searching.
i picked up this nifty Boucher 6748 bracelet today, gold tone with some of the raised areas looking silvery. I found one at a non-ebay site and they say it is gold plated but show no mark.
The silvery areas really do look like loss to the gold plate so I can believe it is plated, just wanted to make sure before I list it.
Picked this up at the thrift store for $5.00. It appears that parts are hand painted? And others parts are not? Does that seem right? I am looking for some keywords. What would you call this type of painting? Would you call this a continental vase? Anything helps! Thanks!
I thought this was the Martec Pattern by McKee but now I see another piece listed that says it's the Martec pattern. Appreciate any light that can be shed on this pattern. Thanks. Oh, and I found this stand in a bunch of EAPG after I listed the punch bowl and plate. If it is Martec, should I cancel the other listing and combine all 3 pieces? Thanks for any and all info.
Snatched up this beauty yesterday and was wondering if ya'll have ever seen anything like this with the fake flower stems attached, It came on the cord but it's a brooch really. I noticed while taking pics that the one earring is smashed I am afraid to bend it back for fear of breaking it.
Does this look familiar to anyone?? would you just sell as a set or break it up and put the earrings in a repair lot??
This other pair of earrings by Anson say Karat Clad do you think that is moonstone on onyx??
Thanks in advance
Good afternoon everyone.
I'm trying to find out information on this Hobe necklace that I got to sell but want more info on it. It is a signed also on the metal back. Any info would be greatly appreciated. I don't even no what types of stones they are.
Any thoughts on the possible age, origin and maker of this small, unmarked, solid silver paperweight(?) or table/desk sculpture(?) ???
Had it tested by my local jeweler and he stated that it's at least sterling or better (probably "pure").
Size approx: 3-1/2 in.
Weight approx: 9.5 oz.
Thank you!
From end to end, this is about 51" long and 3.5 inches across. It is marked "FORD OR MERCURY-1941-8." Some people have thought it might have been for a headboard or dashboard. Others thought it might have been a mold for making something. I would love to hear any of your ideas. Thanks in advance.
Can someone help me identify these? I have never seen a backing/clasp like this before. They are even marked (L)eft & (R)ight. I believe they are right side up in the photos because the letters are.
I'd be very grateful if someone could help me identify them. Thanks!

Im looking for any help with finding some information on this quartz Japan movt pocket watch. I dont know the age, it still has the plastic around the stem so I believe it is unused, and the back side has made in China stickers.
Hope there is someone who can explain why I can't list the items? 'Create your listing' form is absolutely uselles - I'm in Croatia, but the service does not offer anything else but the USA in Shipping destination Service, so nowhere to find the way how to change the location - from the USA to Croatia, and put the right Shipping method!? This is totally confusing with the lack of all necessery options!
Even if I got through, it keeps showing on a Preview that my location is the United States!?!
Thanks in advance!

I have not received my goods purchased,
I just received an email from one of my customers. She had purchased a book from me, she received the package today. However, the package was recieved open and the contents (book) was missing. The post office did stamp it . Her message to me "I received the yellow envelope with no book the package was damage and the envelope state received without contents" she also provided a photo of the envelope.
This is the first time this has happened to me. Not sure how to handle. My postman picks up my mail at my house, if the package was opened or had no contents I'm 100% sure he would have mentioned it to me.
Any advise how to handle this? If I refund her money, I lose both the cost of the item and shipping. I want to resolve this amicably. Please help.
Can anyone id this perfume bottle?
I have this Lovely Patsy doll that was not cut properly. I have seen that they normally do not sell for much money, but I was wondering if there might be more value to a collector with a manufactor defect?
I ordered a few items on 4/27 for an wedding on 5/16. The main item that I bid on and won is now not availlable. I have told the seller to cancel my order as the event is over and the main item, the bride and groom, they cannot find. I have asked over and over again to cancel the entire order as the event is over and the main item has been lost or resold, after I was the high bidder.
I got a message that they are sending me the items when I told them - cancel my order and send me a refund.
Feeling really, realy, frustrated

I am looking for any information of this 13/16" wide tin button. The back references a patent number; however, it can't be made out.
My first thought was "Victory" as in World War II's "V for Victory"; however, the font seems a little more fancy than the normal type used for WWII.
My second thought was a brand name.
Can someone please tell me the autograph that is on this piece of art and the potential value?

These bottles appear to be cased, but the inside is fairly thin, more like white satin enamel painted inside than an actual glass layer. Would you describe this as cased, or as something else?

Hello again! I have some wonderful old jewelry lately, so come here for H E L P! I belive this is a genuine JET Victorian Brooch. The long pin bar and simple c clasp tell me it's possibly 1800's? Is this a Mourning Pin? And are those marcasite beads? It almost looks like buttons made into a brooch? And there is repair on the back. Very lightweight piece. What is French Jet, by the way? And is this worth listing? So confusing!
I purchased a camera lens and the wrong lens was sent. I requested a return but eBay closed the case saying that the seller did not offer refunds. Clearly the wrong lens was sent, I verified this with the local camera shop. This was advertised as a Nikon mount Sigma lens but is a Sony mount lens. I took pictures of the lens on a Sony camera ans sent them to the seller. Still refuses to refund. Seller says in communication that "If this had been our mistake we would gladly issue a refund for the item and for shipping." Hate to resort to Negative Feedback. Impossible to communicate with eBay once a case is closed.
I have a pair of Diorly sunglasses like the picture below. They are in perfect condition execpt for the plastic ends that go on your ears.

And if anyone could steer me in the right direction to look for them that would be really great. I'm sorry if this is a dumb question but I'm a dumb guy who knows almost nothing about CSA.
Hello P&G forums, I see tons of cut glass and this one caught my eye. I would like to properly ID it before listing if possible. Is this ABP glass?

Please help id this victorian dressed figurine that measures 13" tall and has a 4 1/2" diameter base. It appears to be comprised of two pieces bonded together. There is a rectangular outline that may have been where a decal was once located above the hole in the back of the base. Could this hole have been intended for an electrical cord for use as a lamp? I can not see any marks anywhere on the base or figurine. Thank you in advance.

Hi all! I recently picked this up at an estate auction. I have no idea of it's age or the maker of the item. It is not marked at all on the base. The floral shaped top if a thick amber glass; the base is brass. It is 6 1/2" tall (base to top) and 6 1/4" across (top). Ideas? TIA...
I was told this is an old jewelrs table...that is the only info I got. Does anyone recognize this as anything other than that or have any history? It is 30 inches high and 24 by 14 inches on top.

A buyer left me negative feedback after they asked me a question about the item they had mistakenly bought from me. They stated in the feedback comment that I gave them an attitude, where I did not... and yet I can not have it removed unless the buyer agrees to retract it... How is this allowed to happen? My feedback up till that point and my buyers all praise me and my communication with them.. even the ones who return items, mistakenly bought other items or found something wrong with their item leave me good feedback because I work with them and make sure they leave my services happy and satisfied.. I always put forth 100% help and understanding with my customers.
Why and how can someone who made a mistake with an impulse buy from one of my auctions be able to get away with such lies and falsehoods?
The item was a promotion poster for video gaming items.. the buyer thought they were purchasing the items and was upset to find out that they were only receiving the poster.. this could have all been avoided if they read the description of the auction, let alone the Title of the auction before they jumped the gun and purchased it...
Here are our corrospondence between each other:
Buyer: Can you tell me if this is a poster or are sending the two items?
Me: The poster is already on its way to you.. there is no controller or headset with this auction... It was stated in the description prior to your purchase, thank you for your question.
Buyer: I'll send it back no worries keep it the change your welcome
Right after this, they left the feedback... I dont understand how me clearly answering their question can be confused as me giving them attitude.. They obviously where mad at the fact they bought something that wasn't exactly what they thought they were getting (which they admit to making the mistake on their own part) and then they took it out on me because they were already mad about it and somehow made the mistake or misreading my reply as an attitude...
How can this even be allowed to happen? How can I get this straightened out? I've tried contacting the buyer and explaining to them that they misunderstood and mistaken my reply to them.. but they refuse to get back to me.. What can I do about this, because this feedback is obviously untrue and undeserved.
Hello. I have been shipping for a while so I am familiar with rates, etc..My question is, this is the first time I have ever shipped clothing via PM in a poly bag. I know it should travel with other PM correct? So that would include boxes? Or do they separate lighter PM from other heavier PM??
Usually I ship my clothing via FCM but this time It is 14 ounces. The bubble mailer is a dollar more. My margins are not high so I am trying to maximize my profits so yes every dollar counts but anyways...
Do you think, in general, mailing in poly bags would be subject to damage by other heavier boxes via PM? As compared to FCM which usually deals with only envelopes/lighter articles, so the poly bags would be safe you know?
Thank you
I recently purchased a Sega Genesis Console from an inexperienced seller. Its not uncommon to find sellers with little feedback selling old game consoles. Usually a mom who is cleaning out the attic and trying to get rid of her now grownup kids old stuff. The packaging was horrible to say the least, but that's not the frustrating part. The frustrating part is that the console didn't work. I thought maybe it was the cable because I wasn't getting a signal from the console to the TV. So I purchased a new cable. I immediately contacted the seller and she was apologetic and told me she would refund me my money. I told her that I would wait to see if the new cable fixed the problem. Well when it arrived a week and a half later, it didn't fix the problem. Still not getting a signal to the TV. I contacted the seller on Tuesday of this week offering to work out a deal. Maybe a partial refund so I can try and sell the console for parts or repair. In the end I would probably lose money in this deal, but I didn't want to overwhelm her and make her have to pay for return shipping. I didn't hear back from her and so I sent her another message this morning. Haven't heard back yet. So I'm getting a bit frustrated. I don't want to open a SNAD case, but I may have no choice. Other than continuing to wait patiently for her answer, are there any other options available to me? All I was asking for was a partial refund of $8 from a total payment of $32.80. Even if I sell the broken console, I'm going to lose money. I could try and get the whole amount back, but I'm just not that kind of buyer.
These look okay to me but I am not crazy about the original part of the sole, it doesn't quite look like leather to me and imprint looks slightly blurry to me. Any help would be most appreciated!
I purchased this item from sellers webpage and saw she also had it listed here on ebay. This is the actual purse I already purchased, item number is 161697122967. Any help authenticating this item is very much appreciated, thank you! It does have the YKK on the zipper.
I purchased and paid for an item on 5/16. The seller has not provided any shipping information. I've tried contacting the seller and did not get a response. When should I start claim process? I feel like a week is plenty of time to ship the item.
I have a US buyer who won an auction a month ago. After they won the auction they contacted me and said that "for security reasons" they couldn't pay through Paypal and they asked me to cancel the transaction. So I issued the "buyer requested" cancellation and they approved it. Then I archived the transaction, relisted the item and forgot about it.
This morning I noticed an email from Paypal that said I have an eCheck payment that cleared. Since I didn't have any items awaiting a eCheck I took a closer look. I confirmed that my Paypal account has the money. And I confirmed that the payment is for this cancelled Ebay transaction. Ebay doesn't show that the buyer has paid but when un-archived the transaction went into the "Awaiting Shipment" folder.
I sent the buyer a note in Ebay asking them to confirm that they made the payment and haven't gotten a response.
The buyer is in the US, has 4500 feedback and 400 transactions in the last month. So they are very active. He seems like a great customer. But I don't understand why Ebay would allow a buyer to pay for a cancelled transaction and I'm concerned that if I ship the item the buyer will request a refund through Paypal and get their money back because the trasaction is cancelled.
So I'm thinking about refunding the buyers money and asking them to buy the item again.
I would like to report a return abuse. And, would like to do that without calling CS.
Have seen it before, but not now. Has it been moved?
Thanks for the help,
Used to be 5 cents. Is it 10 cents now?
The buyer asked me to cancel. I chose the buyer request cancel option. The email I received from ebay says, "You canceled an order from xxxxxxxxx, and we already notified them. You don't need to do anything else because the buyer hasn't paid for this order yet.You'll get a final value fee credit in your account that you can apply toward listing more items to sell on eBay."
What does this mean? Will ebay not just give me the credit into my paypal account?
Why was my final payment from an item I sold less than the selling price and now another amount is being invoiced after the fact?
It seems that I am paying twice for the one transaction.
when a item sells and all is well,how long does it tale to get your money in your bank account that you linked it to?
Are the patterns Dogwood, Apple Blossum and Wild Rose by MacBeth Evans all the same pattern?
I'm trying to find where eBay outlines the bid increments and can't find it anywhere. Can someone help me?
how can i pay using credit card.
Hello everyone,
Am kindly asking the ebay team, together with paypal to start accepting visa debit cards. this will ease shopping to most people. I have just tried to sign in my account details, however, this is declined.
Please i need your help. Thank you

Now however after only listing about 30 items this months every time I try to post something it shows that I will have the .30 fee.

Keywords: Beachfront, Estate, Waterfront, Northshore,Oahu, Hawaii
Snorkeling, scuba diving, fishing, diving, tide pools, sun bathing and kayaking in front of property. Great place for children or those that like to sunbath or snorkel. Beautiful mountain hiking trails behind the estate. Park like property safely surrounded by a 6' wall. The perfect place for families or a secluded romantic vacation.
The property itself is large and beautiful. AC is working. The spa is still out of order. It did have ant problem in one bathroom. It is good for large groups. But the owner is too slow to send back the deposit.
We rented this home for a 4 night stay. We were dismayed when we got there at the run down condition of the place, moldy walls, cockroaches in the kitchen, doors that did not close, missing fire alarms with wires hanging down. The spa we were promised in the ad was not working, and clearly had not been in a long time. They had no intention of coming to fix it. The real kicker was when the power went out in the back half of the house, and we tried and tried to reach the manager. No air conditioning for hours, and windows too corroded to open. They were discounting new bookings by 20%. I asked for that discount, for all our troubles, but did not get it.
My husband and I got married on the estate on June 11, 2013. Everything did not go as we planned it, our catering was not met and we were scrambling trying to figure out what to feed our guests. Lata the property manager came to the rescue and had her family cooked up a few island dishes for us. She was spectacular!!! She checked in on us every day just to make sure we were satify. The house was beautiful and located on an even more beautiful property. There were ants and a few critters we didn't expect but than again this is the island life. Not everything can be controlled. Either way my family and friends had a wonderful time on the estate and my husband and I had the most beautiful wedding day. We will definitely be returning when we get the chance. Mahalo to Lata!!!
When arriving at our vacation home, we were delighted with everything about it. It was spacious and grand in every sense of the word. Our family was so excited to be in Hawaii for the first time. The first thing we noticed was the lack of air conditioning in the living room,dinning room, kitchen and family room.The manager said to give it 24 hours to cool the house. We gave it 48 hours without any results. A repair man was sent several days later and on the 15 day of our vacation it was finally fixed. Along with the lack of air conditioning, this property had a serious problem with ants. They were in the bath rooms, bedrooms and kitchen. We found piles of dirt ant piles along the window sills on day 3. Manager came and sprayed but did not help with the problem. We had to make sure that every bit of food was store in the refrigerator to keep them from the ants. During our third week we finally got a visit from Terminix. He said there were a least 20 colonies of ants in the walls. We saw a great improvement after his visit. Our third problem was with the clothes dryer. It would take hours to dry the towels. We had 18 people, that amounts to a lot of towels. It would take 2 hours to dry 4 towels. We spents almost every waking hour drying towels. We told the manager several times about the dryer and on day 25 a man came and clean the dryer vent. He removed a large trash can full of lint. The could have started a house fire.
I don't know who the renter were after we left but they were rewarded withall the problems that were solved during our month.
We thought we should be compensated in some way for all these major problems but all of our emails and phone calls to the manager have been unreturned. We are writing this review as our last resort.
This was a vacation that we saved for severals years and to have to have it spent on the phone and emailing to get the house in the condition that it should have been in when we arrived was very disappointing.
Dispite all the problems with this house, it still was the vacation of a lifetime for all our family. I am very sorry to say that I would not be able to recommend this property to our friends or family. I really wish we could.
We stayed in this home for a full week with 2 other families. A total of 6 adults and 6 kids. Never in my entire life have I had such a wonderful trip. We typically did the resort stay with our kids and we will never go back to that again. If you have even young children the beach directly in your backyard here is calm, safe and a great place to relax for even an entire day. Your home is literally feet away with all the amenities at your disposal.
The quality of the home is excellent. It is warm and inviting but not so plush that you would feel awkward about your kids playing in the home. It is absolutely perfect. The kitchen is huge and they have an endless hot water tank supply so everyone gets a warm shower no matter how many people there are.
It is conveniently located across the street from a major store and restaurant that has world famous tacos. You are 10 minutes from your next great adventure no matter which direction you go. Golf is minutes away too.
I can't recommend this home to anyone that has a group of people to travel with. Go with people you love and like to be around and it will for sure be one of the best vacations you will ever take in your life.
I will for sure be back to this Island again every year that I can be here. This house is a must stay place if you are looking for a home to rent. Look no further this is the perfect home for your family and friends.
My family searched for a large home, on the beach, that would spawn lifelong memories of my daughters wedding. She and her fiance wanted sand between their toes when the words "I DO" were spoken to each other. This home provided the perfect venue for our wedding party and guests.
I was the first to open the front door and see our home for the next week. I don't exaggerate when I say my only word was WOW. The entrance opens to a huge great room with a wall of glass looking out onto the ocean. The dining room had a table that sat our entire party of 18. The kitchen was gourmet. The house had just the right number of beds to accommodate everyone's needs. Lata was an absolute delight to work with and answered all of our "touristy" questions in a very timely manner.
We spent a lot of time in the backyard which had a beautiful view of the ocean to the back and an equally magnificant view of lush mountains in the front. A few of us made it a point to awaken before dawn each morning and watch the sun rise up from the edge of the ocean. Beautiful!!
The beach directly behind the home has lava rocks. This wasn't conducive for swimming but there were sand bottom tide pools perfect for the kids. We went down the beach about 50 yards to find a pure sand beach that worked well for snorkeling and swimming. This is the beach area where we gathered for the wedding ceremony. There were 40 of us and it was perfect.
The pictures don't do justice to this beautiful home. It is much more than the pictures show. It truly is 6000 + sq feet. We never felt on top of each other. A very long driveway from the street afforded us privacy and serenity. Plenty of parking in the front.
This area of the island is far from the "Honolulu scene". The Polynesian Cultural Center is 5 minutes away and Turtle Bay is a 15 minute drive. There is a grocery store directly across the street that we walked to each day. We throughly enjoyed the luau at PCC and recommend it highly. Check out the shrimp shacks in this part of the island also. They are a must.
We made great memories at this home and will relive our times for years to come.
The home is on the ocean with steep mountains behind it. It is situated on a beautiful estate with large coconut trees and other island vegetation. There is a small shopping mall across the street with restaurants, grocery store, Longs Drug store and a medical clinic. You are 10 minutes from the famous North Shore surfing areas and minutes away from hiking in the mountains. There are more places to go see then you could possible do in a months time. It is one of the most beautiful locations in the world.

Twitter Restricts User Content In Certain Countries
Twitter announced on Thursday that it would begin restricting its users from writing about certain content in countries that do not allow free speech.
The microblogging site said that as it continues to expand globally, it is compelled to restrict certain content "for historical or cultural reasons."
For example, Twitter wrote in a blog post that due to historical reasons, France and Germany do not allow pro-Nazi content.
It said it will now start reactively withholding content from users in a specific country, while keeping it available in the rest of the world.
"We haven´t yet used this ability, but if and when we are required to withhold a Tweet in a specific country, we will attempt to let the user know, and we will clearly mark when the content has been withheld," Twitter wrote in the post.
The news did not come without critics, and the freedom of information advocacy group Reporters Without Borders voiced its concerns to BBC.
"In the bigger scheme of things it just opens up the floodgates," spokeswoman Heather Blake told the news agency. "It allows for Twitter or other internet organizations to censor things. Freedom of information, and freedom of the press can be compromised.
"It would be interesting to ask them what research they have done to show this will help in any way by censoring tweets within countries. Is it problematic, or are they getting pressured by certain organizations or certain regimes within the countries in order to continue to function there?"
Twitter was used last year by anti-government protesters in Tunisia, Egypt and some Arab countries to coordinate mass demonstrations.
The microblogging site reacted last January as revolutions began to break out by writing a blog post entitled "The Tweets Must Flow."
"We do not remove Tweets on the basis of their content," the blog post read. "Our position on freedom of expression carries with it a mandate to protect our users' right to speak freely and preserve their ability to contest having their private information revealed."

The Red Wings currently have a commanding lead on top of the Western Conference. Now at 52 points going into the final game before the New Year vs. the New York Islanders. The Wings had another outstanding game, including their own Patrick Eaves recording his first hat trick and getting the first star with 4 points.
First period was a very slow period, on the way to a busy second and third period. At 1:36, Jiri Hudler scored to make the score 1-0 Red Wings over the Stars. That was all the scoring in the first, on way to the second period.
Second period, the Stars took full control of the first half of it, first with Brad Richards scoring a goal with 5:39 played in the second period. Not even a minute later, at 6:29 the Stars took a quick lead 2-1 with a goal by Mark Fistric, then with 6:53 played Jamie Benn scored a goal to give the Stars the 3-1 lead. But the Wings struck back in the second half of the second period, first getting a goal by Nicklas Lidstrom at the 8:56 mark. Then at 17:38, the Wings tied the game with a power play goal by Patrick Eaves. Thats where it stayed heading the the third period, still being anybodies game.
Brad Stuart took the lead for the Wings, his 3rd at 5:29. Kris Draper scored his 2nd, at 13:23 giving the Wings a 5-3 lead. It remained that score until Patrick Eaves scored his 10th of the season and 2nd of the game at 14:07, the Wings had a 6-3 lead, when the Stars decided to pull their goalie, leaving Patrick Eaves to score his 11th of the season, and 3rd of the game, getting a hat trick. It was the second time this month a Red Wings player scored a hat trick, following Nicklas Lidstroms hat trick. The Wings stand at 52 points, first in the Western Conference

Contrary to what her "R&B Divas" counterpart seems to think, Lil Mo said she's not the mean girl who just pops off at the mouth on the L.A. series.
In a recent interview with S2S Publisher Jamie Foster Brown, Nicci Gilbert had this to say: "I explained everything to [media coach Dyana Williams] because originally she thought I'm like Lil Mo or Syleena [Johnson] and just flips out and says whatever the hell I wanna say."
Nicci also named Mo and Chante Moore as two cast members on the L.A. series who "ran with" the drama, instead of promoting unity.
Well, Lil Mo clarified that flipping out isn't really her style and her interactions with Nicci have been minimal at best. So, Nicci may not be the best person to comment on Mo's mannerisms.
"I've seen Nicci Gilbert twice in my life…I don't know her," Lil Mo told S2S. "I just don't do and say whatever. Chances are if I'mma say something it's because I was asked or provoked."
Lil Mo explained that she's hesitant to bring up any of her fellow divas' names, but she will defend herself.
"When she tried to put my integrity in question, that's a discussion. We gonna have to sit down and talk about it. Don't mention my name," said Mo who questioned how professional it is for a TV exec to talk about a show's stars.
"What kind of executive does that?" she said. "All the years that I've been in this industry, I've never seen no executive talk about any of their staff in an interview…Unacceptable."
Unfortunately, it seems the "R&B Divas" drama has crossed franchises. As Mo pointed out, Nicci stars on the Atlanta version of the show, while she's a cast member of "R&B Divas: LA."
The good news is that the franchise intermingling has resulted in an "R&B Divas" tour that includes Kelly Price, Nicci Gilbert, Dawn Robinson, KeKe Wyatt and other "Divas."
Lil Mo' wasn't invited to lend her vocals to the production.
"I didn't care. I was just like 'good luck.' Trust me, my show is freaking crazy. My live show with my live band is intimidating, and that's not even being conceited or arrogant or boastful," she said. "I like KeKe [Wyatt]; I know she's gonna kill it. I would hope that maybe she's the co-headliner because between her and Faith [Evans], I think that was a real good call. I don't know what anybody else is going to sing, and I really don't care."
Listen to Lil Mo below.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) As the housing market continues to recover, one name in particular, may be poised to benefit over others: Toll Brothers (TOL - Get Report).
Bank of America Merrill Lynch analyst Michael Roxland boosted his price target on the luxury homebuilder to $49 from $42, keeping his "buy" rating, as he believes the company is going to outperform its peers, and benefits from the growing portion of the population that can afford the company's home. "We see further upside to TOL and the opportunity for continued outperformance versus peers driven by an acceleration in gross margins, a growing higher income demographic which also affords TOL relative defensiveness from higher rates, and attractive valuation."
Roxland notes that Toll Brothers is trading at two times tangible book, which is a discount to what it normally trades at, 2.2 to 2.3 times book. Shares of Toll Brothers were rising in early Tuesday trading, gaining 1.5% to $39.56.
Toll Brothers gets more than half of its sales in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions, both of which are primarily higher-income regions. Despite a growing income inequality issue in this country -- Roxland noted that high-income buyers have been growing at a faster rate than all households -- this should benefit Toll Brothers, which targets that demographic. "Since 1995, the number of households earning $100k or more has increased 277% versus all households combined which has increased 23%," Roxland penned in the note. "Moreover, these buyers shield TOL to some degree from higher rates as modest rate increases are unlikely to discourage home purchases." Additionally, a healthy percentage of these buyers, perhaps as much as 25% to 30%, pay in cash, which Roxland says provides them with "another layer of defense." --Written by Chris Ciaccia in New York >Contact by Email.

The Impact On VARs From Major Changes To Payment
Because mobile payment is a highly fragmented industry (a June 2014 Business News Daily article lists 26 different options), it's best for resellers to actively monitor what's going on in the market rather than aligning with any one solution at this time. While there is a lot of change in mobile payments, one thing is for sure — a few leaders will emerge. Plus with Apple Pay's launch last month and MCX CurrentC expected for some time in 2015, it's too early to predict consumer acceptance and usage.

5 Ways To Turn Data Analytics Into Revenue
Business intelligence is a great thing — but having piles of data doesn't do anyone any good if they don't know how to leverage that data into actionable objectives — or, more importantly, into revenue. Too many businesses have made the mistake of investing in top of the line, costly technology to collect customer and transaction data, forgetting that they also need a way to interpret that data. The bridge between data and revenue is a long one — but it doesn't have to be difficult to cross if you have the know-how.
