Well decided to sell some marbles i bought at a local car boot, the marble in question is doing rather well and i get a guy messaging me and threatening me with the FBI and prison sentences for selling a marble, lol, heres the last message i received off him.

''You clearly don't understand that it is a fellony to sell a
counterfeit item, even if you didn't know it was counterfeit. The law is
set up that way so criminals can't pretend they didn't know. Your
pretending that you found this at a boot sale won't make a difference if
you are caught passing a counterfeit item for any amount of money
whatsoever. Don't take my word for it. Call your local police deparment and
find out for yourself.

Don't get any ideas that once te auction is over
this will go away. Its a matter of record, I have already copied your
listing and images. Its easy to see from the photos that the item is a fake
and the $5000 pervious sale value is enough to show montivation for
creating a counterfeit item and pretending to be naïve.

You have til the
end of the day to cancel the auction and be reminded that after the auction
closes you can and will be investigated and convicted. My emails to you-
and your replies- will make your sentence all the worse. I suggest you stp
being stubborn and back away from this. It is indeed a very serious
matter.

You have until midnight and then I will proceed to involve eBay
and the FBI as I have sucesfully in the past.

Think again.''

What do you think, ignore the guy or report him or do as he says?

He'd have an absoloute nightmare trying to do anything even if he was in this country, as an American he has no hope whatsoever.

Literally reply back telling him to **** off.
 
unfortunatly its true, i have a friend that has been into marbles for years and i have allways been on the look out for some at carboots as i know he does well in selling them, allthough he dosnt tell me everything and keeps it to himself most of the time as thats his hobby, i find some and put them on and get accussed of them being fake, its a marble for goodness sake im thinking, how can it be fake, but this guy seems to be like a dog with a bone

You are a troll unless you post the link asap.

No link = you should be banned.
 
At first I thought marble must have some other use as I cannot believe someone would pay 5000$ for one. I searched various dictionaries and checked Wikipedia. With no obvious answer I have concluded you must be selling a counterfeit Alice Marble, American tennis player who won 18 Grand Slam championships from 1936 through 1940.

The logic is incontrovertible.
