        Well, I guess that's somewhat my point.  I don't know and have never
dealt with "Wayne" but I give everybody the first benefit of the doubt.
Even someone who advertises "in business for over 25 years" and with a d/b/a
like "Triumphs Only" could have be fooled by a really good fake, but once he
knew it to be a fake didn't he have an affirmative obligation to mention
that the second time around?  And with it being a particularly rare item,
didn't that make the obligation to disclose even more pressing?  I passed no
judgment on the man as a result of the first offering, but not disclosing
AFTER knowing is the cardinal sin.  He might not have created the fake, but
he certainly seems willing to perpetuate it!

Just my $0.22.  Rant mode off.
