[Mccoypottery-talk] fakes

[Blaine Ritchie]

Howdy...

There is a group of people on eBay whose mission it is to get crooked
sellers kicked off eBay for shilling.

If you can give me the item number, or some other way to look up the seller,
I will pass on the info anonymously (with a comment like, "Can you guys look
at this seller and see if it is OK to bid" type comment.

THese people need to be taken out of business.

And for future reference, unless you REALLY want an item, even if you bid on
it, and won, if you suspect shilling and do not want to pay, don't. If the
seller presses it, tell him you are going to contact the police, as shilling
is illegal in every state.
