[Mccoypottery-talk] Guide to Fakes

[Curly79065@wmconnect.com]

Ok folks i have set here and read all the post on this subject so i am going 
to put my 2 cents in..
first off kevin let me say that the guide you have put out is good,and 
hopefully it will get around to the people who need it and not the just the fake 
sellers... 
now here is my problem with this when i went in and checked your other 
autions you are selling the same jars that you have in your guide. i know that they 
are reproduction jar and yes you have they were "inspired by " but do you 
really think that a new collector can seperate the real from the other... and are 
they going to understand that what you are selling are not original?i say this 
because i had to read the desciption twice to make sure what you were 
saying... maybe if you were to word the description differnt and make sure that there 
is a pic of your mark on the jars
then maybe that would help? i think that maybe what some are trying to tell 
you i don't know that for a fact but maybe? anyone is free to correct me if i'm 
wrong.

now as far as the comment that someone might be able to afford to pay 
hundreds of dollars on a jar where someone else might not be able to and this is the 
only way to get the jar i have to disagrre with that statement for 2 reasons 
first it should have not been made and second if you are a collector you will 
find a way to get the original I have at least 20 mccoy jars all original and i 
have not paid more than 90.00 for a jar and that was my mammy, i have the 
pontiac jar that i gave around 40.00 for in mint condition off ebay. my feeling 
is if you want it you will either find a way to pay for it then or wait because 
a better deal i bound to come around. Patients is all it takes ... 
ok i will get off the soap box for now.
