I used to get this question a lot...but recently not as many. If I know the person and they've been friendly and helpful, I always share with them where my sources are from. But I came up with a way to help ease those e-mails I get by listing the sources in my comments section. Most are generally vague, unless it was from another person I was friendly with and posted their link.thezelgoddess wrote:What do you do when someone contacts you just to get your sources?
The way mine usually goes is (Purchased from: Ebay, YJ, Private Collector, or so-and-so). This has helped ease the amount of e-mail I get, but not all.
It depends on you really...I don't mind sharing with a few but that's pretty much it. In some series, like the main one I collect, there is very heated competition...but you may collect from a series that has a few people in it and don't mind sharing info with you. That's how I am with a few people with AMG...I let them know and they let me know and so far, no problems whatsoever! But I don't really think someone needs to know the exact detail unless that person has another cel of the similar one they questioned about, then I wouldn't mind helping at all.
