Lance, whilst not saying that particular seller is totally upfront, I must say that as the auction already had a bid, adding the comment

***Please note***This is a Replica ART BAR

in very large type at the bottom of the advert was the ONLY option availble to them, as ebay does not allow revisions to the title or text once the auction had a bid.

also, that seller has very large clear photos of the item.. very clearly showing 999 LAYERED on the obverse.

I have seen less honest ''silver'' sellers on ebay
