    Default Truth in labelling??

    I wish people would stop doing this -

    From an Ebay listing: "MINT Vintage condition. Barrel has couple of cracks. Some signs of storage. Small area on cap - the paint is missing."

    I'd hate to see a "FAIR Vintage" pen. Oh, no - I have.

    There should be a law against the use of the word "MINT". (Unless it has KOOL in front of it, of course.)

    Do you plan on holding your breath? I wouldn't if I were you...

    It's such a widespread issue, though, is there any point? Does the guy know he is doing the wrong thing? I don't know. I guess we all know to ignore the descriptions offered and to look at the pictures.
