[TheForge] Post Vise Craziness

[Justin Fellenz]

No, I think he's a fraud looking for a whack of cash from somebody who
doesn't know any better. Yeah, write him and write ebay, or better yet
someone put up a small, cheap hammer with a heading so it gets indexed
the same and call it a small, cheap hammer and explain why this guy's a
fake. Save your fellow a little coin. The BEST to me is that he *says*
they're better in a collection than a hammer rack. A grand for fake
art.
