<p>[QUOTE=&quot;afantiques, post: 199343, member: 25&quot;]That message from the auction house is illiterate, but reads like a Chinese instruction sheet, so many malapropisms and mis-spellings it makes me think that some Chinese fellow has shipped in a container load of modern jade and whatever and is about to foist it off as antique jade to the unwary.</p><p><br /></p><p>The deposit thing is very, very suspect. I am registered with a British online auction service company, thesaleroom.com and I had to provide a Debit card number to authenticate my registration, but they do not use this to take money. Settlement is direct with the auction rooms.</p><p><br /></p><p>Luckily they did not run their message past someone literate in English to iron out the bad grammar and wierd phrasing. I would give this the credibilty of the average Nigerian banker offering you $50 million for a small finders fee.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
