At least they're real and easily turned for cash At least you know they are real, so "paying for peace of mind" is worth something. Try to cheap out, sleep in the gutter. All these would have 50-60 watchers on e-bay. The Mantle would auction at 430-450, if you can ever find it. The Williams can sell for 250-300, and you won't see it at auction too often either, so I fail to see how these fall into the Skymall territory?
My post was not directed @ acquiring them secondhand was it? I was speaking to the source. They are beautiful pieces and if you buy them right you can get your money back. The original buyer is probably not as fortunate and hence the SkyMall reference.
