I'm sorry, I must call foul.
How can anyone be reasonably expected to resist a subject heading like that?
The chair is obviously a very early prototype and easily worth twice the asking price. If you took the time to peruse the seller's other listings, you'd see that he/she has unearthed a trove of mid-century masterpieces and is well qualified as an expert in this area.
How dare you, loft? Really?
Does this happen often?
This has to be the worst...right? The first post implies that this happens frequently. Love the sarcasm, but really, has someone ever told one this big before? I am torn, trying to decide to report him. Sure, you could say anyone one dumb enough should be parted with their money, but geez...
Wait a sec.
"This is NOT a H. Miller reproduction or Plycraft knock off"
Both those things are true!
It's not a Herman Miller reproduction. That's quite obvious.
It's also not a Plycraft knock-off! It's a GENUINE Plycraft. So he's correct there, too.
I am going to have to think about skinning some chairs, I see. It seems like a really good move financially.
Nut
bags are not that uncommon in the US. Real nut bags, I mean, not the delusional ones. Certainly worth more that that piece of crap chair that is listed on ebay.

Seller response
I also emailed the seller, explaining that this is Plycraft, not Herman Miller, and asked if he'd change the listing now that I'd disabused him. His response: "Miller design has a 5 prong support and a different arm rest. Thanks for the advice."
Weird. He seems to be acknowledging that he knows that his chair isn't Herman Miller. But his listing still states Herman Miller...for sale for an insane $10,000.
