    Hi Pamela; I think this is very very common, the spys usually try to
    stay in the background and I'm surprised they would come to your
    home /shop in a one on one situation. Most of the time they go to
    trade shows or art shows and just walk through and look from a
    distance. I have always been suspiciuos of people who want to buy
    just one of everything that is mass producable or cast. I always
    like to remind people that the designs are copyright protected and
    patented. Also alot of them will want to pay cash so that they won't
    have to give any personal info. and no record of purchase. 

    It's unfortunate that the non creative people feel that they must"
    knock-off", from the creative, but it has pretty much always been
    that way.
