Two examples I remember best in dealer "faux pas" (plural) are the selling of a Fox Sterlingworth "on steroids" as described by the store clerk which turned out to be a 32" 20 ga. HE SuperFox (one of 60 or so made) and a "gussied up" 12 ga. Fox 'upgrade' which turned out to be an original Burt Becker 32" Fox HE 3" magnum. (What's Latin for "seller beware"?)
