Agreed! Whats sad is people actually beleave that crap about it being priceless. In this case how do they know if it isn't just a normal peice or rope? How do you know they arn't just lying

The best thing to do, is to only ever bid on something which could not possibly be a hoax in any way. For instance, only ever bid on a piece of rope, if you want a piece of rope, but not if the rope was supposedly used for something which cannot be proven. A piece of rope is a piece of rope, it can't be a hoax. However, the ropes use in a suicide could easily be hoaxed. The seller will invariably refuse to provide newspaper cuttings or similar evidence, so even if you do buy it, you yourself will never be able to prove to anyone else the validity of the artifact.
