>> I was on another McWitch hunt today and found an eBay
>> seller with 6 fake cookie jars listed. This time, he
>> had in his description that he was fairly certain they
>> were reproductions, but the person he purchased them
>> from had made them from the original molds. Or so he
>> had been told. He was not trying to fool anyone and
>> admitted that he really didn't know.
>>
>> So I emailed him and told him him that yes, these were
>> fakes. But I doubted the person that sold them to him
>> had made them. I sent him the link to Rosso's page,
>> where all 6 of the jars he had were shown. He quickly
>> emailed back this response.
>>
>> "Hi Walter. Thanks for the info. I have known this man
>> for about 6 years and he has told me repeatedly that,
>> at one time, he had purchased and made all the McCoy
>> products. He even said that one of the molds cost him
>> $13,000. But, being an auctioneer(Gen. Merchandise), I
>> have learned to take what is said with a grain of
>> salt. I can neither prove nor disprove what he said.
>> That is why I try to tell what I have been told but
>> also, that someone told me that information. I would
>> rather not sell something than to get a bad rep.,
>> either on E-bay or in person.
>> Again, thanks for your time to inform me and get the
>> information to me."
>>
>> A little while later, he went to the link I sent, then
>> replied with this.
>>
>> "I went to the site and I believe you are right. They
>> are too close to what I had. I won't be getting
>> anymore from him, especially with what I made on
>> these!."
>>
>> I emailed him back and asked if, by any chance, did
>> Roger Jensen sell him the cookie jars?
>>
>> Minutes later, he sent another email. He didn't
>> exactly say it was Roger, but here's what he said.
>>
>> "Boy, I sure do appreciate the education I am getting.
>> You are SOOO RIGHT!
>> Needless to say, I won't be doing any more business
>> with him. He had already ticked me off because he
>> promised to help me get them listed on E-bay, then,
>> after he got my money, he kept giving me excuses about
>> seeing how this one was doing or that one, but never
>> any names, just vague references to E-bay and saying
>> that some people say to much and sometimes the less
>> said, the better. So that is another reason I worded
>> mine the way I did. I wanted people to know that I
>> didn't know exactly what I had and I didn't want them
>> to think that I was trying to Hoo-Doo them.
>> I try my best to be honest and aboveboard in all my
>> transactions, even if it means that I will lose some
>> business now. But I am a firm believer that what I
>> lose now, I will make up for a hundred times over
>> later on down the road because my reputation preceded
>> me."
>>
>> Hope the poor guy didn't get hosed too badly on the
>> cookie jars, but you can bet it won't happen to him
>> again!
