Websites selling relics

[lena28]

I was looking for a crucifix necklace online and came across a good selection on this website: www.cenacle.co.uk

However, after browsing further I have noticed they are selling 3rd class relics attached to prayer cards. I know that Canon Law absolutely forbids the sale of relics.
Should I not buy anything from this website?
Furthermore, should I do something about it by informing someone?

All thoughts appreciated.

Edit: bear in mind I myself am not looking to buy any relics

A thing that I would look at is how they are selling them. It can be a little bit of a sticky situation, but I asked a priest once about a first class relic at our church.

Although you cannot SELL relics, it is possible for the person that wants to relics to make a donation for the reliquary (or the card I suppose in this situation). This would also limit how much you should really be “donating” for something such as a card. If they want $50 for a 3rd class relic attached to a card, that doesn’t sound very legitimate. But if they’re charging a nominal amount for the card and shipping and handling, it may be okay. The thing I would worry about it is the legitimacy of the relics–they could just be random pieces of junk because one would have no way of knowing that they were actually true relics (even 3rd class).

I’m not an expert obviously, but that would be my guess about how all relics work. I personally don’t think I would ever buy one on the internet–something seems a little sketch there.
