TAKE CARE

When buying online only bid what you are prepared to loose, this should also stop you paying too much for things that are actually okay.

Buying fakes is allways hard to digest.
Maybe not so hard in the internet circuit, when one ends up betrayed by the poor and or ilusive pictures shown, or and by the shrewdness applied in the article description, by the seller.
The amount of money at stacke also agrevates the pain, i think.
Last christmas i offered me a gift, a cased pair of percussion pistols, from a local sort of antiquary shop. As i don't fancy the guy, i had my daughter to make the buying procedure... after i had a quick view through the ( shaded ) window where they were exposed, and felt excited with their aspect ... which was my great error.
Getting home i opened the pack, and the pistols were a fake.
My real christmas gift was my daughter getting immediately back to the shop and, without much struggle, bringing the cheque back ... one for 1500 euros ( 1800 dollars ).
If the money was irrecuperable, i would stand for a good place in a pole for naiveté.
