Tom - maybe you can take some solace in this:
years ago Johnny Bench was shilling for Home Shopping and he would actually get on TV and say "here is my autograph, it is worth $xxxxx but you can buy it here and now for only $xx." The NYC Dept of Consumer Affairs opened an investigation into Home Shopping and fined Bench $5000 for his lies. 
Home Shopping was also fined.
