Bud bought 6 counterfeits for $90 each from some character at a western show who originally bought them from our friend in Georgia for $20+ each. Theer is over $500 down the drain. You have bought from him as have Ralph S. I also believe Jim G. got stuck. I'm not sure if Kenny got ripped off but I believe that more ivory collectors have bought one than not.

There is one character on ebay purposely buying this crap "cheap" just to turn around and sell as genuine. I recall Ralph saying that he bought the phoney because he saw that the seller was not the guy that makes them.

I'm sure I'll wind up buying one sooner or later. He appears to be getting better at making the fakes.
