We all stand by our reputations, and have grown into this knowledge through
our own study, and also by holding in our hands specimens and the
reputations of those before us.
The task is to disembody willy-nilly-start-up-crap-bubble-sellers....and on
eBay this is only done through their current feedback mechanism.
Free-markets work, especially when fraud kills the goose. Our task is to
somehow inform, even when buyers have no clue.

eBay certainly doesn't have the best interest of it's sellers in mind,
and from the looks of this auction (and others like it), they don't
care about their buyers or the integrity of their marketplace either.
Caveat Emptor.

This auction just ended, a great price for 72 grams of Weston, (I paid a

more than that for mine!), not so great of a price for botryoidal

But seriously, if you're so dumb you don't know that Weston is an H4 and
you
bid on a piece of Weston sold as an iron, I don't really feel that sorry
for
you.
