There are so many things wrong with this auction copy, I don't even know where to begin. Perhaps the most egregious is that the necklace was supposedly strung in Canada, but the seller is based in Florida. Perhaps "VALENTINA DAY" is a tradition adhered to by Canadian expatriates who live in Florida. Has this seller been posted about before?

The copyright does look the same. This is not a VERO 'able' auction, unfortunately. The wording is legal.

Doncha just love the closeup photo of the box? That is one important looking box.
However I buy identical boxes at a local jewelry supplier, by the dozen, to create little Guadalupe shrines made of velvet and sequins that I like to give away for xmas cards.

Can you tell if it sold?

Also, they do get high ratings, but mostly as a buyer. And of course, I am finding the ratings can now be purchased.

The auction I posted supposedly sold for $300, but it was immediately relisted. Jeremy (jshepherd) had the auction taken down since it was most likely fraudulent, but they kept relisting it and changing the wording. Right now they are using the pic for other jewelry items (?) but it looks like just a mistake.

notice how the picture at the top is of the pearls, while the rest of the pictures are of the actual item.
