http://inlandempire.craigslist.org/atq/3151782771.html . This guy is looking for offers so I thought, Ok I'll play . I shot him an offer of a hundred bucks just to see where he was at. He told me I was the lowest offer , the next lowest one being 300. Keep in mind he had just placed the ad. Hmmm.

If he wants an auction, just put it on e-bay.

Funny you caught that. I didn't even notice that he claimed it was porcelain. I knew it was painted and didn't look into it any further.

I was thinking that thing didn't look right, but I don't believe I've ever seen the correct holder for that sign. I must be living in a bubble, because I've encountered 99 percent stand up guys since I've gotten into this hobby, and guys like this just really chap my hide
