If only eBay had an option to block sellers from certain countries, just as they have the option to block buyers from certain countries. I would...
Just as had happened in Germany, high inflation led to coin hoarding, as the metal of the coins was worth more than their spendable value.
Actually your previous methods are still very much relevant. You still need to have a genuine one in one hand and a fake on the other. Only...
Yes it's very sad indeed! And the saddest part is that good natured people may end up selling a fake honestly believing it to be real. It seems...

Beer and big guns are also pretty. [IMG] Cheers! :cheers:
I feel you man. I did similar work for Phil Weiss out here in NYC. I guess the point I was trying to make is that getting good leads is no excuse...
