[Mccoypottery-talk] Check it out......

[~barb]

The biggest thing is looking at what else the seller is selling OR has sold.
When someone has numerous pieces of vintage "McCoy", they could be selling 
their collection -- but many times it's because it's new, off the shelf. 
Always do a Search on what a seller has been selling, unfortunately it's 
only the last thirty days now -- but can still give you an idea.

But that does like an authentic McCoy Chilly Willy.. A lot of the fake jars 
are not cold painted like that one is, plus it just looks real to me.

Also, just my opinion, but I never, ever trust a seller with private 
feedback. This seller has nice looking numbers, but there is something they 
want to hide apparently.
