That said, I will, mildly, point out that the problem arises out of a misuse of the word *unique.*
This word is horribly abused, especially by pitchmen and women of all description, be they on ebay or elsewhere. Why? Because almost no-one seems to understand that the word *unique* is a superlative, thus, it *cannot* be modified any further.
So, for instance, had Frank used the word correctly, and simply said *unique* to describe the frame, likely none of this would have come up.
Let's all try to be gentle with *unique.* It's actually a very cool word, and works all by itself quite nicely.
