Its great to see "pros" in action that can spot crap like this and also great that theres a board to post it. Its the same with fishing antiques. The board we use has 4 to 5 posts per day warning of bogus auctions exactly like this. Most hardcore collectors frequent the boards and someone will almost always know who the high bidder is to warn them off. Most sellers that sell stuff like this usually know "exactly" what they have even though the listing would have you believe they are "deaf, dumb and blind"....
