Sorry, Jocke ... I disagree. If one represents a piece to be authentic, then he'd best be certain that it is. And, if it turns out to be counterfeit, the counterfeit parts should be replaced by OEM parts without charge or a full refund should be provided. The burden is on the seller, not the buyer. Here, the buyer was quite reasonable in wanting only the aftermarket crystal replaced; however, the seller made an international case out of it and now we have all this. The seller's reputation has been, no doubt, harmed significantly by his own actions or omissions as the case may be ... all over a $200 crystal. Not worth it, IMHO. As my late father, may he rest in peace, used to say ... "when you buy used, you buy other people's problems." That is very true in this instance.
