Hi Shawn and List, I would hope that buyers are too savvy to fall for this blatant forgery/scam. But I guess you never know.... I have seen this same seller offer several similar bogus meteorite items. I wonder how obvious a scam has to be before eBay will take action? I can't imagine eBay letting this auction continue once it's brought to their attention. Funny thing is, I tried to report this same item to eBay, but there was no way to select a proper explanation from their canned list of reasons.
Best regards and clear skies, MikeG PS - I have micromounts of the Brooklyn Bridge available, contact me if interested. ;) On 1/17/10, Shawn Alan <[email protected]> wrote: > Helle Listies, > > This is the second time I have seen this item being auctioned on eBay > > "Martian Iron Meteorite" containing fossil BV/HC/RBC > > http://cgi.ebay.com/Martian-Iron-Meteorite-containing-fossil-BV-HC-RBC_W0QQitemZ130359697886QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item1e5a0b21de > > > I find it hilarious the lengths individuals go through to make a buck these > days.
