Very good Lee, so follow me here. Let's use a similar scenario that we are all familiar with, sports. You have an old baseball and get one of the old players to sign it. There are always at sport shows and charge for each autograph. You get your old ball signed and pay the baseball player. Is the baseball player a fraud and is he perpetuating fraud for signing an old ball knowing full well that he now brought increased value to the ball? I think not. Now, if you try to sell the ball and give the impression that the ball was signed years ago making it even more valuable, then you fail the integrity test and ethics test, now don't you.

Sure - you would fail . . . but you would also have an old baseball signed by an old pro just like I would have Mr. Author's very first book . . . in hardcover, in good condition, a First Edition signed by Mr. Author himself whose signature (like your old pro) can be verified by a signature expert.

Books like this don't come up for sale very often you know. Here is a chance to own one especially if you are an avid fan of Mr. Author. The price is a reasonable $2500 and I will guarantee in writing that the signature is his or I will refund 100% your money plus your shipping expense.

The lure of easy money skirting a very fine line - hard to resist isn't it?

Yep, Lee but you nor I would do that. Unethical people will practice unethical behavior and that will always be the issue here. I wish more people would be cognizant of what they are buying and check things out before they purchase. But greed and selfishness act as catalysts to a fast buck for some people if when it's too good to be true.
