Agreed. Less than a day after this thread was started the item in question was pulled. I'd like to think any major ebay seller or auction house would do the same, but I wonder how many would have in a similar situation.

When PWCC was confronted directly by a well-known expert on the fraudulent listing of the Drum pouch, PWCC buried its head in the sand. When confronted publicly, another fraudulent listing popped up and the vultures were circling -- PWCC quickly jumped on and pulled the item, stating that "we agree the language in the description is not as direct as it should be" -- when in fact the description was actually misleading.

This is called self-preservation, not honest service. As for the reactions to Brent's delayed response, all I can say is that somewhere Bill Mastro is laughing his ass off.

Even if it took a couple of days from when he was first notified, at least the right decision was made. He could have just amended the description or left it up as it was.

Perhaps he was doing his own research after the well known expert warned him about the listing. I don't sell items such as this, but if I had this up I'm sure I would want to verify one expert's opinion before deciding to end an auction that already had bids over 2k.

Jeff is exactly right. Ideally, research should have been done before the packs were listed on EBay and the issue never would have come up. At the least, when Jon contacted the seller the auctions should have been taken down and corrected. Instead, as Jeff points out, the auctions only came down when they were publically exposed.

Perhaps the sun was in his eyes. Perhaps the dog ate his homework. Perhaps the average collector is just a moron, begging to be fleeced by fraudsters?

FYI, the Old Judge pack is still an active listing. Only the Drum pouch was taken down.

So much for doing the right thing.

Jeff called PWCC's action self-preservation. I call it damage control. Same difference, as the old expression goes.
