Most are just repeating in good faith what they were told when they bought the item and haven't bothered to verify the information.<br /><br />Even when people do attempt to identify a piece, the internet can compound the confusion, because one faulty piece of information can be posted on so many successive sites that almost overnight it seems to be part of a large body of evidence.Dana@Mid2Modhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03055460107477850683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087940973013594269.post-74630674107971953562011-02-17T19:41:31.988-06:002011-02-17T19:41:31.988-06:00Not all are fraudulent, some are only misinformed....Not all are fraudulent, some are only misinformed. <br /><br />There's a lot of disinformation that has been spread around by so called "experts" over the years, some of it is so prevalent that it is thought to be the de facto truth. I repeatedly come across this in my own research.Jonathan Goldsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03541901365888585260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087940973013594269.post-62935324822972145842011-02-17T19:00:09.389-06:002011-02-17T19:00:09.389-06:00@Krazy4Mod: People who buy vintage items need to l...@Krazy4Mod: People who buy vintage items need to learn as much as they can about the pieces they like, because there are fraudulent sellers out there!Dana@Mid2Modhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03055460107477850683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087940973013594269.post-68249260774018556572011-02-17T18:58:51.215-06:002011-02-17T18:58:51.215-06:00@DearHelenHartman: I went to your blog and LOVE, L...@DearHelenHartman: I went to your blog and LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your table!!!

I went into it thinking I was really clear about where I stood, and by the time I had read all three perspectives, I could see what a complicated issue it is. Still, I agree that people need to read descriptions carefully, because "inspired by" and "style" are dead giveaways that the item isn't an original.Dana@Mid2Modhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03055460107477850683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087940973013594269.post-17334592895104726962011-02-17T17:55:12.235-06:002011-02-17T17:55:12.235-06:00Something that amazes me is when someone selling a...Something that amazes me is when someone selling an item says "this is an original....." yet they have no confirmation that it is an original.Krazy4Modhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00759139762164230288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087940973013594269.post-21572149456142681062011-02-17T15:10:13.318-06:002011-02-17T15:10:13.318-06:00Good lesson.
