Best way to handle sellers that falsely represent their Beads? | |||||

Thanks for advice. I do contact seller store when I see dyed coral (new Bamboo Coral) sold as Antique and Natural/undyed. Some people have items on consignment and don't realize the person's huge impressive coral beads are not worth $600., more like $15. So sometimes it's a matter of the seller being "used" and maybe not knowingly trying to deceive. But ultimately the seller is responsible for anything they are selling in their store. Typically I PM the seller and let them know I suspect the coral, bead strand or whatever may not be as represented, and usually I get a Thank You I'll look into it- it's a consignment, or I'm selling for a friend.
Apparently the Bead Business is even more cut throat these days, and buyers need to not only beware but should rely on and deal with reputable bead Dealers for expensive purchases, or investment level beads. Thanks for any feedback you can throw my way.
P.S. I'm sure the Powder Glass bead experts can give me a more precise age range on this strand in particular. I think some I have are similar and are older - but nicer- and I've understood those to be more like 60+ years old. So I'll be interested to get more info generally.
