[Mccoypottery-talk] the list

[Kevin Reffitt]

There are some very good points that Lisa and Curly (Excuse me if these 
aren't your names, I've referred to your email address for this info) made, 
and I would like to address those points in full, but it's getting late and 
I'm tired.

I did want to say though, the pictures of the mark are in order, and will 
be included.  We've worked real hard to achieve a balance of good 
marketing, complete disclosure, good taste, and compliance with eBay 
rules.  Believe me, we HAVE been blunt in the past by using "reproduction" 
in the title and add, but eBay has canned our auctions time after time for 
keyword spamming.  We've tried reproduction, style, inspired by, design, 
etc, but eBay is picky, and far from consistant.  Each time our powerseller 
support specialist gives us a word list that's "acceptable", the next 
specialist cans our auctions again.  This is a constant battle with eBay.

On our TIAS store, every reproduction jar we list has "repro" in the title, 
and in each add text, we state that this is a "newly created collectable".

Lastly for the night....Curly, I know you didn't mean to insult Michelle by 
saying we sell the same jars we talked about in our "guide".  We sell 
McCoy, Shawnee, and Hull/Regal China Reproductions, along with our own 
items, not that crude, ugly, junk fake crap.  ( this was meant in a lighter 
tone of voice...let's keep the humor rolling )  She says that if you don't 
think she paints any better than Roger Jensen, then she's heading right out 
to the back yard and burning all her paint brushes.
