Really great pics of it also... Lets see... zero feedback, no pics, great command of the English language... Why does this one raise red flags....

I think the word he was looking for was "compensate"

Steve: Yes, that is what I was thinking.

As far as I am concerned in a case like this, no pics no bid. It could be a faker, if it exists at all.

I figured he meant compensate, thus my comment on command of the language. Ted - my thought exactly - "if it exists at all"...

Oh, come on, I think the seller meant to say:

1. "I am setting the reserve low to concentrate for these flaws."

2. "I am setting the reserve low to consecrate for these flaws."

3. "I am setting the reserve low to con some flake for these flaws"
