What do you all think of this? I was watching trying to determine to bid on it, but it ended early? I thought it was supposed to end on 7/11? Oh well, at least my wife won't kill me.

The seperation line appears straight, and the shape could be 18th C. What do you think?

You know it really frosts my posterior when some craven Seller puts an item up for auction and then "caves in" to a private contact buyer . The Seller had absolutely no idea how much it would've fetched had the auction run its course .

I'm willing to bet it would have finished higher than he got in private sale .

Ethics be damned though ; it's all about the greed .

The ugly side of Ebay .
