As the great philosopher, Elwood Blues, so eloquently spake, "It wasn't a lie, it was just ********."I'm sure it is. I'm sure it dates back to the first bead/trinket/skin/weapon sold and resold. Caveat emptor is pretty old advice. Doesn't make it go down any easier though.
They'd better hope ATF isn't watching, though. They don't go for that sort of thing...
