it is an awesome little pine tree. It did have a touch of haze, but I have bought bottles before from others with haze in them that did not show up in the pics. I have bought a couple of nice bottles from this guy, I think he is just a little inexperienced is all. He seems very fair, has a return policy, has decent stuff. Should he have washed it, probably not, but I do not think he meant any harm.

I agree on both ends of the spectrum.Although it could be used to deceive,I think this isnt the case with a drip hanging off it in plain site.A closer description from any questions should be easily had I would hope.

IMHO it is absolutely dishonest to picture a wet bottle without mentioning that it was photographed wet. I have bought and sold gemstone rough on the Bay and know that disclosing that the specimen(s) is wet is an absolute ethical necessity.
