now...i have quit reading the FML for all intents and purposes...but this
article in the listing caught my eye...since i e-bay also...

first...i would like to say that i have had dealings on several different
fronts with these people for several years...and they are very special
people...as far as i have been involved with them...
 
if what Jen says happened as she said it...i would venture to say that
"MINKEY98" was not aware of it...maybe it was a friend THINKING they
were doing them a favor...i have no idea...i do not know who "FIVELOVES"
is...but i do know who "MINKEY98" is...
 
i will also say...that these figurines are all totally handmade
[sculpted] by "MINKEY98"'s wife...and they are extraordinary pieces...
well worth the $20.00 apiece...
 
jen...i am sorry this happened to you...but i feel confident...[if that
still has any meaning on this forum]...that it was not the doing of the
owner of that ebay...as i said...i have had dealing with them for several
years now...and they just do not seem the type of people that would do
this...nor condone it being done...
 
just my 2 cents...
