<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 4512344, member: 36"]In Connecticut it's illegal to sell ivory unless it's to a museum or similar, and as an old eBay dealer I've learned to avoid using certain words. Ivory, even as a color, is one of them. By calling it elephant-unfriendly everyone understands precisely what the material is without spelling it out ... and attracting unwanted negative attention.</p><p><br /></p><p>It should be perfectly fine to sell fossil ivory, but I think they've outlawed that along with all the rest. You can buy it and bring it in from, say, Alaska but can't resell it. I also find it idiotic to outlaw the sale of antique pieces, especially when the market for new items is primarily in Asia. Virtue signalling at its "finest".[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
