Amber Listserv / Chinese fakes

[Andy Ng]

Good luck, Mark. A most noble endeavor. I had railed at Ebay (and another
local auction site) in the past for the fake timepieces they allowed to be
auctioned, but achieved naught. Hopefully you'll have better luck with the
amber issue. I still think consumer education and awareness are the key to
it all...keep the gullible masses from being misled into buying, and the
fake sellers will dissappear when demand for their items drops to zero.
