Watch out! Post Fakes, Repros, Customs selling on ebay here

[itfciain]

Anything bought from a 'charity jumble sale' is never a great sign - and when the seller keeps his sales feedback private then for me there is something to hide

The card is too washed out is clearly a repro

I know they did Tauntaun reins,

but EV-9D9 arms?

That's a new one I think. The arms are always loose or missing.......you can see who is cashing in on that.

The whole saga. Note i resisted the urge to be rude or get aggressive... not easy when confronted with this kind of idiocy...

I don't know if you ever got to the bottom of this (there are eight pages of posts in this thread) but the seller and the customer are the same. I've done some analytical work with text and the punctuation/grammar rhythms used are the same in each section. See how commas are used or how sentences start. It's a dead giveaway.

I only read the section you highlighted, but when the 'buyer' got so defensive and aggro as soon as they were informed they had been had my first thought was that they were also the seller, shill bidding gone wrong. No way a buyer would react like that.

Hey xpack. We've not been introduced. I'm Pete. This was a while back and as you suggest it was eventually assumed (after someone mentioned it on here i think) that these 2 people were actually the same person so not only was he selling fakes as originals but he was shill bidding with a separate account and it seems i contacted his other account to warn the "buyer". Actually couldn't have worked out better cos he really knew i was onto him then. So i'm glad it was actually him i was contacting. It also means that he didn't actually sell them. I kept a look out for a while but the lot never appeared again. Hopefully i scared him off.

 

[BlueDog]

I'm scared of you Pete so he bloody well should be! :lol:

You need only fear my mind Ryan... my muscles are quite small. :lol:

I got a guy at the moment bought a Short Circuit album and sticker set from me on ebay. He's written to me saying it's a fake and accusing me of fraud. Little did he know i got it from the Panini factory itself and still have the email confirmations of purchase. I have written to them asking them to confirm in writing that all their vintage albums are original and not reprints and they in no way sell reprints as originals or intentionally misdescribe their products.
They've written me a long email explaining that everything they sell is vintage and original except where described otherwise. And they added they'd like to hear exactly why my customer believes the item to be fake.
I'm looking forward to ramming that email right up his arse... metaphorically of course.

This is possibly the biggest pile of gash I have ever seen:

Great something else to look out for.

Thanks for posting though, those gits will repro anything. I haven't got a loose one of these yet, better buy it on here or I will end up with one with a gammy arm... :lol:

Not to sure about this one since I'm a Padawan. But I have never heard of this?
