If you check the sellers history he bought a repro cape and blaster less than 2 weeks ago.

The cheeky ****er makes no mention of a vinyl cape, 30 year old Jawa.....

some nice detective work there...someone will buy it though, and I bet they wont have checked his purchases.

Thanks mate! I think you need to be! There are so many dishonest to$$ers out there trying to make a fast buck!

Very true, no shortage of wankers on Ebay!

Good spot though.

Cape lies nice and flat for being wrapped around a jawa for 30 years. :roll:

Oh doesnt it just! I asked him a question about the cape, and surprising he has ignored it! PRICK!!!

I'd like to add to give people heads up about a seller called imselectrical1, also went by ftospares1.

A few weeks back imselectrical1 had a VC Jawa on ebay asking starting price of £29.99, I messaged him asking if it was a genuine cape as wasn't mentioned either way and said if I bid and won then I'd send it to UKG for authenticity so would know if it was or not and that I'd be protected by ebay if not. I had no reply so left it.

Today I noticed it was up again same pic same price different name with zero feedback called ftospares1. So again I messaged him stating that he was either selling under another account or illegally using someone elses pic. He replied neither and was selling for a friend. So I told him to remind his friend of what I had said about UKG grading and that I had no response and also said it was strange that he would ask someone with zero feedback to sell a VC jawa for him and thought it was suspicious. Carried on to say that I had reported this to ebay and will leave it up to them to decide upon the listing.

I just checked and the listing is no longer as is the Ebayer who no longer exists. Also imselectrical1 no longer exists. Funny that. So thought i'd give people a heads up on it.

Here's the pic incase it crops up again...

lol, sorry dude, this was the only ppic I could get as the listing had been removed so I got this thumbnail off one of the messages I sent originally.
