davidcyclebackI don't know anything about Ming vases, but I know not to buy one from a seller who uses blurry images and says "I'm not Chinese so eBay rules forces me to call this a reproduction."
If an eBay seller refers to a baseball card as a reprint, believe him. Trust me. Even if you suspect the seller doesn't know the difference between a real card and a reprint, why would you want to purchase a valuable card from someone who can't tell the difference between the real version and a reprint? Shouldn't you be dealing with sellers who can tell the difference?
If I was a newbie collector of Ming vases and an eBay seller said, "I know sh*t about vases, and I have no idea when this thing is from," do you think I'd say "Here's a seller I should purchasing my Ming vases from"?
