<p>[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 2212569, member: 36230"]Each of the ones I looked at were so laughably poor they might as well be called fantasies, and really are of little concern if looking at the big picture. If one seriously wished to address the counterfeit issue, the first step might be realizing that worrying about some schmo selling dogs honestly on eBay is bypassing a mountain to climb a molehill. The second step might be figuring out how to "moralize" each and every person with, or willing to have, an involvement in this hobby as this is the true root of the problem. After that discovering a way for common sense to blossom, particularly among new and/or less experienced collectors, would be, well, icing on the cake.</p><p><br /></p><p>What is "amazing", sir, is that some still fail to understand that if there was no demand for an item, even ones from this fellow or the likely Chinese producer, there would be no reason for it to exist or be available for sale. Since there clearly is a demand, regardless of if we like it or not, those filling it are in fact providing a "service". An unfortunate one, yes, but still a service.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
