I had a bad encounter from a seller on eBay. I looked at the pics he had posted. In one pic there appeared to a very small crack in the blade. I asked him if there was one. He said no.... His photo skills weren't the greatest and it was a reflection from something in the background. Well.... I won the item. It shipped to me. I opened it up..... And sure enough...A CRACK in the blade! I checked the area of the crack and a little bit of pressure...snap! Now it had a huge chip. To make a long story short.... He was mad as hell and I got a full refund. He should have said there was a crack in it to begin with. Still ticks me off to this day about sellers like that guy. An antique dealer he called himself..... More like a BS dealer!

YES! Antique dealers are a different breed. And yea, the W&B purchased from a real 'antique dealer' is a nice silver lining...
