I was sure that is fake.... for that price....

Getting a bargain is one thing, but bragging is simply uncouth and so is the way it was obtained-by deception. If you had simply posted it and said "What do you think of this?" no one would have said Boo about it, but when a person comes out and says "I purposely screwed a dealer out of something valuable! Now I can sell it and make big profits! Ha! Ha!Too bad for him!" that is another matter altogether. Not the highest class,Lad.

OK! Im sorry for all that,....

I was just so happy when the experts starts saying that is original....

So, should i go back and tell him what realy happend?

I would recommend that you go back to the source and just be honest, say "I thought it was bad but it turns out I was wrong, and so when I sell it I will split the profits with you". Then your not out, he has some consolation your an honest broker and you can both share in your newfound knowledge equally as neither of you knew it was any good obviously. Then you can retain your integrity with him and have done the right thing.

Do not ask us, what do YOU feel is the right thing to do?

[JeZoCoH]

Never ever use the price to judge authenticity of an item.

I think this is a good idea.
Not only will you retain your integrity and have done the right thing, but you will probably also have gained a friend. And maybe someone that will keep an eye out for items for you in the future.

I thought I smelled fish. I suspect you knew all along it was good, manipulated the seller into thinking it was a reproduction, then posted it on the Forum to cover your tracks. What really comes through in some of your posts is a "look what I got away with" attitude which I personally find juvenile and offensive. I am glad you have decided to grow up and do the right thing. . .

Go back to the dealer, tell him you were mistaken, and cough up
the rest of his original asking price.........
