Mongolia Public service message - buyers beware

[Ed_Haynes]

But I still think the basic rule is: Do not sell things you do not possess.

The ethics behind this are pretty clear.

To put things in perspective, the first post in this thread refers to a group offered for sale to me at more than 10.000 USD. The group was not just not owned by the seller, but also not by the person he represented... as the group was in fact owned by somebody here on GMIC who I don't suspect will be selling it anytime soon.

Offering a 10K+ group for sale while not owning it nor holding it raises serious concerns in my book.

Why I am saying - you could have been taken for your money. There are guys out there who sell awards, but in reality they just have few photographs they stole from some website or collector. You send them money and they disappear.
