Hi Shawn and List,

I would hope that buyers are too savvy to fall for this blatant
forgery/scam. But I guess you never know.... I have seen this same
seller offer several similar bogus meteorite items. I wonder how
obvious a scam has to be before eBay will take action? I can't
imagine eBay letting this auction continue once it's brought to their
attention. Funny thing is, I tried to report this same item to eBay,
but there was no way to select a proper explanation from their canned
list of reasons.

Best regards and clear skies,

MikeG

PS - I have micromounts of the Brooklyn Bridge available, contact me
if interested. ;)
