"19th Indiana flag"

Folks,

I was having a bad day but I laughed so hard when I saw this I nearly fell out of my chair. I'll say one this: the seller definitely has brass gonads....

Mark,
Thank's for sharing. I have been laughing about this for about 15 minutes now. Some people will try anything! The bad thing about it is, someone will probably buy it from him. :D

Guys,

I couldnt stand it anymore. This was just too outrageous. I sent him a note telling him that there was no way that this flag was used in Glory (I had friends at the filming willing to verify that). I also pointed out the two April, 1865 events at the bottom. I was nice though, and didnt tell him it was the poorest copy I had ever seen. Yes, you are right, some people will try to peddle just about anything. This is almost as funny as the guy trying to sell a supposedly original cap box as a belt compass holder. Jeez.

If you thought THAT was hilarious, here's another one of his "flags" (I use the term only loosely in applying to these rags):

Re: "19th Indiana flag"

As is usual with these huckesters, "Absolutely no returns!" I wonder if these guys have any idea how many sales this policy costs them -- any reputable seller would be glad to let you examine his wares and return them if not satisfied. I wouldn't even consider buying from someone with so little confidence in their items.
