Deceptive usurpation over the ancient word

Summary: chris_31200 expresses dissatisfaction with misleading sales on an online site, where items are presented as antiques even though they are reproductions. koalagris says that the forum cannot intervene directly and provides links to contact customer service. frelonverre suggests that the prices should have raised doubts about authenticity, while a conversation between nareio and frelonverre discusses the lack of empathy for those who are duped by such offers. The exchange reflects frustration with false advertising.

On the seller's site, the sales are misleading; the word antique appears in the titles, even though these are only reproductions, according to the seller (read in the description).

ex : Rare unique antique pharaonic sarcophagus ancient funerary king coffin Ushabti

Definition of Antique: Something that belongs to, dates back to Antiquity (that is not the case).

Thanks to Ebay for getting all the titles changed by adding 'reproduction' or banning the seller who claims to be a private individual.

Thanks

Hi, Frelon ( @frelonverre )

Wow, you’re tough! Seems that in Nouillorque they keep selling the Brooklyn Bridge cheap to “amateurs”...So why not a bargain sarcophagus or the Mona Lisa at a cut-rate price??? Huh, can you tell me...?
