Believe me, I hate eBay! Take it somewhere else. As for the pieces that are being hawked there, let the buyer beware. And also any serious collector knows the source and the quality. IMCA exists to help new collectors become acquainted with those that know the field and what to collect. Simple?

Now, we are not only complaining about the authenticity of a piece but the description too? You have to be kidding. Perhaps you need a hobby other than inspecting the wording of ebay auctions. Leave ebay alone and let the buyer beware. Damn, if I ain't getting tired of all this crap. Get a life for crying out loud.
