Sellers don't get on our list for these offenses. It takes a bit more fraud than that.

The fake rainbow toning looks very fake and ugly. Though it might fool some, I suspect it does not really add value. 

The provenance might have been provided by CNG by word of mouth. Without checking with CNG, we cannot be absolutely positive it is a lie.
