Dave, you need to slow down. I doubt many people would stop an auction at the last minute because someone who they DON'T know tells them that they should. You don't know what has transpired since the auction ended. There is nothing wrong with selling a fake sign. They are bought and sold every day. Your problem is not knowing or telling that it is fake. Hopefully that was resolved between buyer and seller. Until this is known, I don't see why anyone would want to crucify him. I give up.
