White Alg tunic

Pfui

It appears that with two hours left, no one is going to get stuck with this lemon.

This little incident encapsulates everything wrong with our happy little endeavor. Ich kann nicht so viel essen, wie ich kotzen moechte.

Did anyone notice what they added after the names came down?

"This tunic is in its original condition and construction exactly as I purchased it. There have been no changes or modifications what-so-ever since its purchase."

So what exactly does this mean?

"Show Piece from private collection. I truly thought, innocently, that I was respecting those who helped me examine this tunic. I never thought beyond that. I now see how much "creative" thought people can conjour. Sorry guys."

He has these guys look at the tunic, they tell him it's a bogus piece and then he turns around and puts their names on the auction as "authenticators" and WE are the one's who conjur up "creative thought"? Boy, some people really take the cake! He now takes their names off and puts this up after the auction is over with and nobody bid on it.

A most thoughtful discussion, and I thank everyone for their input, but this is a bit discouraging I must say. This field needs a certification service. Please do not laugh!

bemerkenswert

Just as the community of nations remains unbowed before a supreme body of law givers, the collector cosmos defies regulation from some kind of Plato-like group of philosopher kings. I think we are getting even farther away from such, in fact. The cannon of the Habsburgs were emblazoned with the Spruch: "ultima ratio," the dynastic right to appeal to God to sort out conflict in battle. In our case, we can only rely on our own hard won knowledge and wits, much like a soldier. This little episode is real Katzenjammer. Chaos rules in the 21st century, and let the buyer beware. Those whose names have been dragged in the s***t should seek legal retaliation against this figure, it seems to me, and those of us out here would do well to avoid this vendor and his wares.
