Hi.  I think that if the seller ends the auction early, that is what you see as a message on eBay; and that if the item vanishes, then eBay have removed it for whatever reason. (For example: item contravenes permitted item rules; or seller has committed an offence such as shill bidding which can result in temporary or permanent suspension).

Just out of interest,  here are pictures of my two PY Butterfly paperweights. The first is a type 1 fake C1988 with the dropped Y and the second on the spattered ground is a type 2 fake C1992 with spaced letters

I have been looking at the weights and have to admit that I have trouble seeing which one is fake apart from the PY with a large gap and which ones are real. I have not handled any but like to keep an eye open for them. The fakes as it has been said are collectable in their own right and they look good to me. The seller is trying to deceive by giving himself a 'get out' clause. Hopefully the collectors can read the listing and act accordingly.

The last time I as at Newark I was marching around on the Parade Grounds and wasnt allowed to walk anywhere for 6 weeks  !!
