Guess your admonishment paid off.  It was ended!!!
Maybe we need to do this more often.  Just copy and paste your message into
a message to the seller from around 100 people?<G>

Well, so here's my 2 cents ... I wrote the seller a letter using eBay's
"contact a seller" form. Wonder what she'll think? hmmmm

Question from eBay Member: McCoy Cookie Jar


Hello, Do you realize that the "Mammy" cookie jar is a reproduction?
Actually, it's not even really a repro. in the true sense of the word. A
repro is made to look exactly like the original, but this one doesn't even
have the right head, etc., etc. At any rate, it's not authentic. Either you
think it's authentic (because of the starting price) or you know it's a
fake, and hope it sells to some unsuspecting person. Also, the catagory
isn't correct. *IF* it were real, it should be under McCoy, not Brush-McCoy.
There's a real difference. When Brush & McCoy were together for a few years,
they never even made ANY kind of cookie jars. But Brush did, and McCoy did,
but not while they were Brush-McCoy. If you were not aware that this piece
is not original and authentic, then I'm certain you'll appreciate the
information I've given you, and I'm genuinely sorry to have to break the
news. If you KNEW all this, I'm certain you're more than a little angry for
having been confronted. If this is the case, there's absolutely *NOTHING*
you can say to me or anyone else that will justify what you're doing ---
passing off a cheaply made "fake" as something authentic. You don't even
have some word like NEW "hidden" in your description so that people who are
"on their toes" could realize it's a fake if they'd just read between the
lines. Shame, shame, SHAME on you!
