Re: [Ancientartifacts] Re: Is this authentic?

All,

    I'm new to this group, but not new to the subject.  I believe each person is his own arbitor of conduct.  I cannot say what is right for anyone but myself.

Personally I can find little fault in men and women who cherish human history like sincere collectors and dealers.  There are dishonest dealers like there are

dishonest Insurance salesmen.  It is a part of life.  How one responds to adversity in this field is a measuring stick of his own character.  Having said all of that

I think it important to realize that when I read the phrase "taking it in the shorts" ... it made me want to gouge out my minds-eye.   :-)  (Tim, are you getting my emails?)

All,

Maybe I worded my original message incorrectly or insentively. I
have been burned so many times on Ebay (by unethical sellers) it's
not even funny and I came here to get confirmation before I paided.
Steve, I will pay without a doubt if proven authentic.

and follow it through and take it in the shorts? Even if it means
YOU are getting "stiffed". Articles are usually paid for before
shipping, so there is no way a seller is going to get "stiffed", it
is simply a "lost sale". Big deal~ If you are the seller of the item
this fellow is speaking of perhaps you should just lighten up and
make the sale, since he is asking the right people to find his
answer. There are hundreds of "ethical" bidders getting stiffed on
ebay every day. That's the reason this group exists?
