No-one likes general adverts, and ours hadn't been updated for ages, so we're having a clear-out and a change round to make the new ones useful to you. These new adverts bring in a small amount to help pay for the board and keep it free for you to use, so please do use them whenever you can, Let our links help you find great books on glass or a new piece for your collection. Thank you for supporting the Board.

Is this as dodgy as it looks?

Hi all, this paperweight is listed again with a really high first bid and payment only by direct money transfer. Looks odd to me ! eBay listing:

Every July this very rare antique Baccarat paperweight shows up on ebay France. This has been going on now for four maybe five years. Last year I was the top bidder. Seller refused to accept paypal even if I paid the fees and the seller refused to have a friend come with cash and pick it up in person. Seller only wants wired funds. Bidders beware.

Oh yeah. I also asked the seller for a picture of the weight on top of "today's" newspaper. No picture received so far.
