Evidently everyone else has seen a different listing than I have. The seller does not say that this skull is 1000 years old. He does not claim that this is an artifact. All he really says is that it contains hundreds of pieces of turquoise, and it was found in a cave. All the rest is marketing. Evidently hidetanner is a self appointed member of the ebay narc squad. Report away.

"the skull it self appears to be 1000 years old"

He says it was found in a cave in the 1960's. Some FLower Child probably did it while he or she was smokin some weed and forgot where they left it. It looks like candle wax arounf the eye socket. Just my assumption.

I reported it because seller is misleading people into thinking its an artifact.  I emailed the seller asking about the claim.  I got no response which tells me its a scam.  I think you need to read the description again.  The seller may not come out at say it, but it defiantly implied.

He actually DOES claim it appears to be "1000 years old," as Becky has already stated.

Hidetanner, yes!! Do report away!! Smiley And anyone else...I was thinking of reporting it, myself. This seller is definitely trying to make cash, and he doesn't care what kind of far-fetched, ridiculous story it takes. I do not like dishonest seller scams like this!

HE says it "appears" to be 1000 years old.    In other words it "looks like" it's 1000 years old.  Learn the language. Everyone seems to only read the words they want to see. Every word changes the meaning. As far as the "narcs", this site is full of them. We used to call them tattletales. I guess they sorta grew up. Uh oh, please don't report me.

$200 i'd have given 15 for the gems maybe.....

I'm gonna concoct something that appeares to be a 195yr old saquatch skull although many may not "believe" in sasquatch this could jsut be the proof that finally tames the question....why miss out on this spectacular deal notice it seems SOOOOO huge compared to the other skulls around it....

i'll toss a old beaten up yote skull by some mouse skulls and make 1000's.....

sounds like a idea anybody wanna retire early with me?

Several years ago someone had a "mummified baby sea monster" one there and they were describing how big the momma would've been. It was an old dead, dried up ribbonfish in a jar. LMAO
