And then I read the fine print

So I found a great listing on eBay. A fabulous piece, mislisted, poorly described, obscure, but the pictures show it to be totally original and likely to be a four-figure rip. Then I get down to the last line of the description:

"I cleaned this medal again with silver care. Now it shines and flashes again. (Unfortunately, only after I made the photos.)"

AARGH!

Sorry, no link until the listing closes. It's still worth something, and while I trust everyone on this board implicitly... well, maybe not that much.

(I probably shouldn't have posted anything until it closes, but I'm so pissed I had to vent.)

Tell me about it. I bought a coin that was nice and original when the photos were taken. Then the seller, who usually sold jewelry, decided to clean and polish it before it was sent to me. Arrrgh!
