The reason is, I agreed to buy an item posted here on the board. It looks authentic (stains & all, lol ) in the picture but when I receive the item, it was a homemade reproduction, *sigh*!

I send an email to inform the seller of receipt of the item and my disappointment in what was actually received and was at least hoping for an apology and/or refund. It's been a few days and nothing. So without mentioning any names, I'd like to reiterate my disapproval of the bait & switch tactic employed. It's really a shame and too bad it had to happen. I'm sure you are a decent enough fellow but you should have mentioned a COPY and NOT THE ORIGINAL would be shipped in your post.

Sorry for the rant, guys & gals
