(Very) expensive 20thC Murano

This seller is frequently economical with the truth, but $2500 for a 20thC Murano !

A shame that eBay does not want to stop this sort of misleading advert.

I must be missing something.   The link takes me to ebay item 270319832303 which has a 'buy it now' at only $195.   Has the seller realised his 'mistake'?

And he still lists the maker as Perthshire.

That seller had another similar weight listed. Both are Fratelli Toso. He had this one listed as Perthshire and the other listed as Baccarat. I wrote to him about both: He only corrected the Baccarat listing. I guess he thinks he sees a 'p' in the center of that one. Even the corrected listing is over priced. I generally don't go over 40 for Murano. It has to be something really special before I pay more.
I collect Scottish and Italian paperweights and anything else that strikes my fancy.
