<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mark_h, post: 1962004, member: 3726&quot;]This purchase of yours is exactly why you have to be on guard.&nbsp; I am not sure who you expect to &quot;self-police&quot; this hobby. Honestly - I am not sure what you are asking. There is just no way to stop flea market(or bottom feeders) sellers like this.&nbsp; Ebay just made it tougher to report fakes - some like the move and others don&#039;t.&nbsp; There are bottom feeders in every hobby that prey on the unsuspecting.&nbsp; That is why people always say read before buying - you just have to do some of the work(or homework) yourself.&nbsp; I am sorry you had this problem, but there are a lot of people(just on this forum) that are doing all they can to educate and alert collectors.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think one of the things that gets me is that posters complain about the prices of some of the well established better dealers.&nbsp; Well - use them and there is a good chance you won&#039;t run into this situation to start with. Pay a little extra for their expertise and knowledge.&nbsp;&nbsp; And if you have an issue they will gladly work with you.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
