I just read over at the oxygenee board that zionriver IS Opie. Are you guys sure? If so, I guess I just got hustled...but only out of about $20. I looked at the e-bay user info and it looked like he was a homeboy, same area code as my folks in Lafayette, LA, emailed him and felt ok, so I bought a spoon from him for $16 and change. The auction ended 12 days ago and I have yet to get the spoon.

I understand you didn't get the oval part of the spoon, but did you get the shaft?

Did I get burned on this one too? It seemed she only sells antiques and has lots of good feedback and I got them real cheaply.

Zionriver is Opie, I've emailed him. He prolly will send you the spoon since his wife wants the absinthe stuff out of the house. I can't see the pictures on your other auction.

Thanks Cros, but will he send me a real spoon? This is the one I bought, but it never arrived. A couple of days ago, he said he sent another, different one.
Another thing I wondered about. E-bay contact info is Greg Tyler, but Paypal info says I paid Charles B Kountz?
Re: The other auction, I guess she used some lame hosting service that deletes graphics once and auction is closed. Thanks for trying to look at it though. I will post a pic as soon as it arrives.
I've heard those with stomach issues use it to louche their absinthe.

The Kountz name is the one he used most here, but who knows. Wait until you get your spoon and report the whole mess to Paypal. I doubt they'll be too happy about the dual names.

They're real post-ban spoons and are advertising for Berger pastis.

Well, they were only $10.
Here is the spoon Opie sent me.
