    Of course Belgium does not have a "lock" on the word coticule. for entertainment you can read

    That type of "keyword spamming" ticks me off. The obvious intent is to try to get more $$ by placing incorrect keywords in the auctioin listing. I mean, how could you possibly list every hone you sell as a coticule and not think they are different rocks. Again, misleading and done purely for profit (possibly at the expense of those who are not knowledgable about such things).

    Yeah the seller is using 'coticule' because he saw some go for high dollars . Trying to get ebay to pay any attention and discipline the guy is like beating a dead horse .... pun intended ..........

    Also the ubiquitous "Coticule? Escher? Charnley? Not sure what this rock is but I'll make sure it shows up in all the searches" listing.
