It's be interesting to see how they determined the country of manufacture.
"Mint Location: California"

...someone doesn't even know where Carson City is. That or it really was made in California on some specific play money factory.

It's like they didn't even try. That beak looks like a beer bottle opener.

Which is exactly why I don't even bother reporting anymore. Last time I reported one was with 3 violations and their bots didn't recognize any of them. I'm getting too old to waste my time on fruitless endeavors.

I think at some point, you have to accept that it's the Wild West, caveat emptor. ebay has a financial interest in allowing all listings to continue, and a minimal interest in paying employees or AI engines to police listings.

In an environment where hucksters have free rein to part fools from their money, it's probably more efficient to focus on educating fools over attempting to block hucksters. The hucksters are already breaking multiple criminal laws, if anyone in law enforcement could muster even a thin sliver of enthusiasm towards stopping them.

It's gone - just when I was getting attached to it.

I looked for it too late. Thanks, Hondo, for the images. I would have loved to have seen the entire listing.

Yeah, and I didn't save the seller's ID. I'd kinda like to have one of those because it's so outrageous and comical, but only for a few bucks.
