<p>[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 2517130, member: 36230"]Man, you really need to stop saying/implying that your products <i>cannot</i> fool anyone. There's certainly a very good reason why, on your FTC post, you defined those not likely to be fooled as "average collectors of that coin type", which is an infinitely more fair and reasonable statement. People are dumb; you know this as well as I do, and is particularly true of some when dreaming of a deal. You also know this isn't my issue with what you do, and I'm a firm believer that you can't fix stupid, but still, as long as humans exist there will be the very real chance someone could be fooled by them. This may not completely be on you, but it's certainly a very real possibility.</p><p><br /></p><p>That said, the BRAND of your copies has changed as well. It's now your, ahem, "art", and not at all a copy of anything, remember? Your whole argument, at times and particularly in this thread, seems to be based upon your name, so distance yourself from that now? The car example was fair if we considering it using the same justifications you've used for your products. It's one thing being made to look like another for the sole purpose of making a buck. God bless them and you for finding a way of doing so, but it is what it is and no amount of fluff can change that. Their intent is to allow people to make their car (very remotely) look like something it's not, and you essentially do the same by allowing coins to look like something they're not. Your 64 Peace or 16 Barber halves are not the "real" thing, right?</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the Feiro GT you owned, I'm certainly glad you enjoyed and had no problems with it, but I owned an 88 Olds Cutlass Supreme International with, I believe, the same engine and transmission (2.8 V6 and Getrag 5 speed manual - so correct me if wrong) and was one of the biggest turds I've ever driven, or at least became so far too early in its life. Foolish me was drawn in by the then ultra-modern near "spaceship" looks of the car, but should've known GM in the 80's was, well, GM in the 80's. Hey, I actually liked the Fiero when initially released, and "enjoyed" driving a first year model that later went the way of 1945 Tokyo, but looking back they really were cheese balls. The 88's certainly were the best of the bunch though.</p><p><br /></p><p>Oh, and I'm sorry to disappoint you, but no... That wasn't me. You have my word.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
