Title: (Very) expensive 20thC Murano
Post by: tropdevin on December 19, 2008, 08:41:57 AM

...
This seller is frequently economical with the truth, but $2500 for a 20thC Murano ! (http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?type=2&campid=5335820906&toolid=10001&customid=&ext=270319832303&item=270319832303)

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 (http://cgi.ebay.com/Murano-Fratelli-Toso-Concentric-Millefiori-Paperweight_W0QQitemZ380088871589QQihZ025QQcategoryZ2744QQtcZphotoQQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1742.m153.l1262) 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.
