Yes. I purchased a bronze in 2001, done by the Stan Winston Studio. It is a limited edition (Veloci)Raptor, created from the same maquette mold used to create the raptors in Jurassic Park.

This link you provided, for this seller, with their various $120-150.00 bronze statues has me scratching my head. Unless the cost to produce and mount on marble has decreased severely, I do not understand how they are selling legit bronze sculptures at that price.

I own a few bronze statues, but I would never buy them on Ebay.  It's not like posters.  You need to go to a dealer who's versed in it.

Just like anyone who buys a Rembrandt, Durer or Tissot on Ebay, is most likely going to get burned as well. :P

No, I never did.  :'(  I couldn't wrap my brain around if what I was finding was worth purchasing or just cheap china junk...  One day though.
