This is made of ROSEWOOD.

I did a Google search on: Rosewood Tea Tray.

This was the very first one I clicked on.
It is under $100. With free shipping.
But it's not the same tray.

I don't see any item he's featured here on his web site. None of the wonderful swoopy pots, or the tea trays. One of the pots on his site does look a lot like the one in his avatar, but that's it.

He does appear to have a B&M store (pictured on his site) which looks like it has a LOT more than his site. And we all know the "I can get this for you routine."
I have removed several of their posts from the forum already ... in my typical "light-handed moderation" fashion.
Oddly, there are several vendors from China who have been in the grey zone of spamming in the last few days.

Stop, Grab a paper bag, Everyone's hyperventilating
I went to his web site and did a Store Search for Tea Tray.
"Search results for 'tea tray'
Your search returns no results."
So they're not his wares.

I just wish site owners would focus their promoting on the appropriate vendor section. The spamming makes people go to the site, but it makes me distrust the seller and not actually want to make a purchase.

I bet they are ... like I mentioned above, he has a B&M store which has a lot more than his site.

Likewise. I try to enlighten offending new members, sometimes it works, most times it does not.
The enlightened ones are still here, the unenlightened were shown the door.

Oh Darn, I hate asking stupid questions, it makes me feel you know... stupid. But what is a B&B? I know it's not Bed & Breakfast.
And I gather it's a link or in the back ground or some way hidden.
What was the first clue?

B&M ...Brick and Mortar, they have a physical store with lots of wares pictured on their site if you browse it a bit.

No mysterious Mod powers required in this case.

I'm not psychic, but I seem to be picking up some vibrations.

Glad that's been cleared up, was hoping to log in tonight and find out what a B&B store was.
