<p>[QUOTE=&quot;all_fakes, post: 345634, member: 55&quot;]I don&#039;t know the show, or the expert.....but to put in my two cents worth, in an area I do know something about:</p><p>I&#039;d say that it often seems that 50% of the wooden Northwest Coast native items listed on ebay are fake.&nbsp;&nbsp; I tried to make that statement very specific, and very precise.&nbsp;&nbsp; I don&#039;t mean anything more than what I said.</p><p>&nbsp; &nbsp; I&#039;d also add that although it is indeed true that fakes have always existed, it is also my opinion that internet auctions and ebay in particular, have vastly expanded the availability and circulation of fakes.&nbsp; This opinion may be somewhat specific to the area of Northwest Coast native wooden items mentioned above.</p><p>In my opinion this is primarily because internet auctions have vastly expanded the exposure of potential buyers to areas of collecting with which they are unfamiliar.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
