[QUOTE="cj415, post: 5333950, member: 30598"]OK... so now I know! I had to take the plunge and buy one of these sets to see what it was all about. As someone else pointed out, the pictures on the site were from many different sources and the seller said they were all MS65 in one place and then they said something totally different in another place. I paid via PayPal so that it would be easy for me to request a refund. The seller was called Shoplund, and the website and all information seemed to refer to a business called Shoplund. It's a *mostly* well done website. Well, imagine my surprise when I made the PayPal payment, and then the seller's business name was truly revealed: HONG KONG HUANG CAI XIA INTERNATIONAL LIMITED I didn't even wait for them to ship the package and I requested a refund via PayPal right away. All of a sudden the seller starts emailing me and telling me that they can process an immediate refund if I close the dispute on PayPal. Very interesting.

But, I didn't want to risk not being able to get my $269 back. It's getting very scary to see how good the fraudulent sellers are getting! P.S. They have now raised the price back to closer to $1000.
