[Mccoypottery-talk] Repro Warning

[Beth Cunningham]

Did you realize that there is a person listed in the classifieds section at 
mccoypottery.com wanting to find a supplier of McCoy reproductions?  This 
person is listed as Antique Peddler, so certainly sounds as though they 
mean to sell any they can find.  Isn't it a bit hypocritical to suggest 
that others clean up their act if we aren't attempting to stop this flood 
of reproductions in our own backyard?  Maybe no one in authority has yet 
noticed this ad, but I hope that something can now be done about it.  Beth
