Scott, I agree with you, in the sense that it's not an either/or proposition. Yes, I am a proponant of buyers educating themselves (I take that radical stand). As with many on this board, I also regularly contact sellers and buyers when I see fakes or scams. Please note that I orignally contacted this particular seller about his reprints. Also, note that I regularly rail against eBay's protection of scammers and do report serious problems directly to eBay.

In the beginning and in the end, the only genuine and longlasting innoculation against buying fakes (or as few as is reasonably possible) is self-education and experience. As unfair or unfeeling or harsh as it may sound, there's no way it.
