incident recently some people have still chosen to bid with his ebay
offerings irrespective of the seller's integrity or lack there of.

Welcome back, Ray T., I just glad your intitials aren't R.W., that
might confuse things!
Anyway, in regards to the Baby Head incident, the guy I 'talked' to,
via email, claims it was a management decision because
of "questionable authenticity." Then the same company puts on this
nearly worn smooth Geo.II halfpenny - too worn to tell if its real or
a counterfeit - and claims its an unlisted blacksmith. I'm sorry, I
wasn't born yesterday, but that takes some gall! I
guess 'questionable authenticity" is OK in this case though because
he added the question mark? Back to the Baby Head, how can a
counterfeit, advertised as a counterfeit, be of "questionable
authenticity?"
In the meantime, while this was still a viable eBay lot, I get an
email from this guy telling me that the infamous Mr. 'X' is coming to
look at the piece. If you read back through my postings during this
time, what I predicted apparently transpired and the lot was pulled.
A personal favor, perhaps?
Maybe this guy should be looking for employment elsewhere, because
with management like that eventually the smell will rub off on to
him, if it hasn't already. Your right though Ray, others are bidding
on this alleged major rarity unlisted blacksmith, but I didn't
recognize any of the bidding monikers as egroup members. What is that
old saying - Ignorance is...?
Yes, I'm still a bit miffed about the whole situation and even went
as far as checking out eBay's polocies, but found nothing to prevent
the apparent dupping we all got - pardon the language, but that sucks!
Ganted, I probably wouldn't have ended up with it in the end anyway,
but it sure would have been fun watching the bidding! I guess its
just the principal of the whole thing....
BTW, I had a notion to forward copies of the email I got to everyone
whose moniker I recognized as bidders, but then that would be
spitfull, wouldn't it?!
