Classic element of a ripoff, greedy buyers. These guys listed detailed
pictures of a "yardsale" item their "wife" wouldn't let them keep
and
started bidding at just a few bucks, when the images made it look like a
very rare and valuable (millions) painting. Greed makes people blind.
OTOH did you read the whole story, these clowns got off with a wrist slap
plea bargain, when evidence pointed to 1100 cases of shill bidding and
other fraud.
