Not a 'graph, but word play

Bored and roaming through " movie prop " in eBay. This is a good =
example of why we need to read full descriptions, not only these things =
but on autographed photos as well.

Subject is: Harry Potter * GOLDEN SNITCH * Movie Prop/Toy/Costume!! =20

Yet in reading the description it states: Again, this is OFFICIALLY =
LICENSED and BRAND NEW, STILL IN FACTORY PACKAGE!

Um, so if it is NEW it was NEVER in the movie, so it ISN'T a movie prop, =
it is a toy and licensed as such by Warner Bros. Better wording to keep =
it honest would have been 'as seen in the movie'
"Harry Potter". They try to obscure the issue with: Movie =
Prop/Toy/Costume

Only reason I used this example is I forgot to get the link and wording =
from a Pauley Perrette picture I wanted. Shipping too high, and they =
would not state it was an in person signing or other signing, but did =
have a handy COA......whee. Didn't bid, BTW, but I have found a few =
pics I will try to resize and send off to NCIS at CBS studios to see if =
I can get one signed by her.

Anyway, sorry to toss a semi OT post but a gentle reminder to be careful =
doesn't hurt from time to time.

Yeah, I recommend to everyone to bookmark your auctions and don't bid
right away. Read first and ask questions. Wait for answer and if no
answer try ONE more time and if none DELETE. Then ever day, go into
the auction and reread it to see if you missed anything. Also, by
not bidding right away, you might take some sting out of that first
excitement.... and decide you don't really need it after all, thereby
saving some cash.

Anyway, good to read things over a few times. There's so many
scammers!
