<p>[QUOTE=&quot;all_fakes, post: 86123, member: 55&quot;]But to continue.....on ebay we also see sellers who are just mistaken; but sometimes they do a bit of internet searching, decide that their item is Native, and heap on all kinds of quotes about what it is, and such.&nbsp;&nbsp; Like the seller of the Eskimo artifacts mentioned earlier, those superlatives do not add any authenticity; often the contrary.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Check out <a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/272012317213?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&amp;ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/272012317213?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&amp;ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/itm/272012317213?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&amp;ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT</a></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]21884[/ATTACH]</p><p>$1,500?&nbsp;&nbsp; or $5,700 for BIN?&nbsp;&nbsp; This is by no stretch of the imagination NW Coast native, or a sisiutl, or a soul-catcher.</p><p>My guess would be Thailand, but I&#039;m often better at knowing what something is not, than what it is, for non-native items.</p><p>&nbsp; &nbsp; One sometimes-overlooked fact is that internet searches are generally most useful when you know what something is, and want to learn about it.&nbsp;&nbsp; But if you don&#039;t know what it is, or have jumped to conclusions, the internet will often lead one seriously astray.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
