<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 700973, member: 13650&quot;]They may or may not read this thread.&nbsp; I&#039;m not willing to give them that much credit to be honest.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; I did not disclose all the problems but several.&nbsp; I did contemplate your concern. </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; At first, I was somewhat hesitant to disclose much at all.&nbsp; But the thing is, there&#039;s nothing stopping them from buying a real one and checking it against what they are making.&nbsp; It&#039;s that simple.&nbsp;&nbsp; Frankly, I don&#039;t understand why they weren&#039;t better.&nbsp;&nbsp; It would indicate to me that it still must not be that easy to create a perfect copy.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; For example the glossiness and gold hue that many had.&nbsp; If they could avoid that, why aren&#039;t they?&nbsp; &nbsp; Some of the problems are only visible under magnification and you have to look for them.&nbsp;&nbsp; In the end, I decided my post likely would not have much of an impact on what they&#039;re doing.&nbsp;&nbsp; The reality is that info and examples of the real thing are readily available.&nbsp;&nbsp; I mean, how else would they have gotten them this close?</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Conder, the sellers misrepresented what they were selling.&nbsp; The auction showed a replica stamp on them and they said that they had them in the auction description.&nbsp; I didn&#039;t ask them to leave it off.&nbsp;&nbsp; I didn&#039;t manufacture them.&nbsp; I don&#039;t have anything that could manufacture them and I have no intent to defraud anybody with one.&nbsp;&nbsp; This was strictly a learning experience and I have a lot of documentation proving that.&nbsp;&nbsp; If I was trying to get away with anything, I would not have posted an article on them.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; I was the unsuspecting recipient.&nbsp;&nbsp; I actually wish they would have been sent stamped.&nbsp;&nbsp; But it is obvious that many people must be importing these to sell them as real, since they left the stamp off with no questions asked.&nbsp; They just assume that is the intent now I suppose.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;Or maybe they just don&#039;t want to ruin their work and don&#039;t care what happens with what they send out?&nbsp; That&#039;s probably the more likely scenario.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
