Here is copy of an email I sent to them - I believe I am at least the second person to contact you to tell you that this item does not date to 1894 and is not an antique, as you claim. Items marked "Western Germany" cannot have been made earlier than 1949, and this stein was made much more recently than that. This stein has a fair market value of about $10, although no serious stein collector would buy it at any price. Your disclaimer is disingenuous at best, if not outright fraudulent. If this listing represents your "ebidz Auctioneers", you will soon discover that no buyers trust you, and your sellers will suffer. Don't you place any value on the reputation of your business?
