Opinions?  <waves hand wildly>

That the VeRI (and related VeRO, on ebay.com) aren't
administered on a case by case basis, but broadly?

Also, perhaps it might be better to ask the *sellers*
of the items if they are more likely to get a buyer if
they just identify an item as being by "Wolfgang Flür"
or "Karl Bartos" alone, or by trading on their former
affiliations...
...and bootlegs *are* bootlegs, hmm?  Else why would
people post, obliquely, that "you agree that you know
what you are buying" or however they word it...<koff>

(PS, hey Klaus, did you get that email I sent you
guys?)
