Guess whose auction got cancelled?

You rely on what the sellers' packaging says for your legal advice??? No, I relied on my eBay account rep's advice based on my reading him the exact wording on the packaging, that they were not copies of "any actual coin" but represented the "style" of the era. *Frank's conclusion that the "University of Oxford" endorses these fakes is also preposterous - but then absurd rationalization seems to be Frank's life coping mechanism. The Ashmolean is a University of Oxford Museum and a Department of the University, which owns the collections, employs the museum staff, and is solely responsible for all operations, which would include oversight on the gift shop inventory. How is that an absurd rationalization? Of course YOU have made such "rationalizations" that if I made a post in RCC at 2 a.m. I must be up all night on drugs. The truth is, that many self-employed people find themselves working long hours that no paid employee (or fair labor laws) would tolerate. |

Gift shops are just gift shops, some university committee doesn't review every one pound fifty pence item. There are many treasures in that Ashmolean gift shop, especially wonderful books, and I am certain that nobody from the University reviews the book inventory for what the books say - although that might be of some value. Indeed, if I remember how the bar codes in that Gift Shop look, it is just possible they state that the gift shop is leased to a third party (if memory serves, the tags have the third-party vendor's name on them). The Ashmolean has an excellent restauarant (two of them now, actually) and I am very certain that they are also leased to a third party - it is the same company that feeds visitors to the British Museum and the Tower of London. Frank, IMHO, you are a **** poor incompetent spammer of RCC, a psuedo- intellectual in your own mind and nowhere else, and another sadd coin dealer who seemingly can't make an adequate living - you are clearly a cut below most people who hang out a shingle in this business. If you qualify for Social Security, you really should make your application. oly |
