It is a shame that there are enough people watching ebay ,that two fools can meet.(unless of course the seller ran it up) That would be even more criminal,literally.

Hello bowrem306, I would like to thank you for the email concerning the Staubmuller bottle. The seller of this bottle did not communicate quickly and after I received the bottle, I realized that it was a reproduction. I can only be upset with myself for not doing my homework before bidding. I have added you to my list of "favorite sellers". I appreciate your concern. Best regards
I remember when I started collecting bottles, I traded a guy quite a few good medicines for one fairly large green Warners bottle. It looked as if it was stained from being in the ground. I believe it had been acid etched to make it look old after later thought. I think I kept that bottle as a reminder of what can happen if you are naive or uninformed as to what you buy. Some time later, when I found out I taken quite badly, I confronted the guy I bought it from, and he said to me,,,,,live and learn son,,,,, live and learn. Well, I never dealt with the guy again, and yes, I did learn, but was it excusable for him to do this, in my opinion, no, although I am sure there are many people out there that will say different. And regretfully, there are people out there with no conscience at all and will put it you in a big way, if you give them the chance to do so. I took a couple of pretty good burnings before I started trying to check different things out before jumping in and just buying. Hopefully, it will not happen to you again.[/align]
I don't know if you remember that red chec net float ball I sold for $1oo something on ebay, for a friend. Well the guy wanted his money back and i had to give it to him, as the guy I sold it for wasn't anywhere to be found.
I ended up selling it to someone else for $70. I lost about 60 dollars on it. Since then I don't sell for anyone but me.
