Don't you just love things like this:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=922875508

The description says "Kinkade 20x24 OIL PAINTING Country House,"

but the photograph shows a signature by "C. Jaffey."

There's even an ENLARGED photo of the signature, so no buyer could
actually claim deception. And certainly the photo is good enough to
show that the painting is a very amateurish imitation of Kinkade. And
surely the winning bid of $1.25 is not excessive...

... still, wouldn't you think the seller could at least have had the
grace to say "Kinkade STYLE painting?"

I'd love to know whether the buyer is getting what he or she expects...
and I wonder whether the buyer has noticed that $24 shipping charge?

What's the funniest/most wretched thing YOU'VE seen on eBay lately?

But, You see-

They'll refund your dollar and a quarter even if the painting "Just don't
look right"

Sounds like an Honest e-Bay seller to me :-)

Did any of you go to see the price of their frames!!!
Most people want a ready to hang picture in a frame and the majority are
unable to frame pictures themselves so it would stand to reason that they
would go to the site offered to choose their frame which within the US and
Canada only is free shipping
I bet this is how he makes some pennies as he most certainly could not
survive and keep the "shop" going if he sold them all at or around $1 - $2
dollars each

by putting "kincade" in the title when they are fully aware that's not
a Kincade is considered Keyword Spamming and is a violation.
