Yeah, tell me about it. I hope to do some MAC shopping while I'm home for Christmas. I mean, sure I have to drive to Tennessee but that better than driving to Vienna from here.

You are most likely right, did you read the description...
Now you can try a whole variety of colors in this unique, custom created palette.

The night before last I did in fact go through every M·A·C item listed on eBay but that was a one-off to figure out the level of counterfeiting that goes on. I identified 40 auctions with counterfeit items out of 3,700 listed although of those 3,700 listed only about half actually had any M·A·C content - lots were for things like traincases or non-M·A·C eyeshadow pallettes or non-M·A·C brush sets (which might have had small samples of M·A·C pigment as a bonus)

Lol. I look through Ebay about twice a week. Sometimes I search for specific MAC items, other times I just search "MAC" because a lot of things don't get seen if they're miscategorized - I've gotten AWESOME deals that way. I also have favorite searches saved like "MAC Heatherette" - that's how I won my heatherette. They emailed it to me. Otherwise, I would have never seen it because I normally only look through eyeshadows.

MAC COSMETICS MIRROR HAND HELD LARGE COLLECTABLE !!!!! - yours for only $500! The last mirror sold on eBay actually went for $56.86 so I suspect this seller is being just a tad optimistic.

Today's fake report - we have a lot of fake items from the following vendors;

Other sellers who have recently sold significant amounts of counterfeit M·A·C include;

In the past 48 hours I have identified and reported 63 auctions listing counterfeit items.
