fake palitoy sticker on ebay

I have compared notes with Darren Simpson on this (we have the only known used examples of this sticker) and can say it's a fake. Although pretty accurate looking compared to other fakes I've seen I can see several issues compared to the original. (which is sat next to my laptop as I type)

Standard listing stuff, been in the attic for years, I don't know my star wars, so may be repo etc etc.

Well he ain't pulling it over your eyes :wink:

Seriously if it's been tucked away in his loft for "many years" then it wouldn't be repro so why is he even going there, what a **** :evil: "I don't know my star wars" but knows ****ing enough to suggest it could be repro, what a **** :evil:

 

[mr_palitoy]

Darren has pointed out that you can see that he bought it from the seller who was selling these repro stickers last year as you can see it in their feedback....

:roll:

Have messaged the seller:-

Hi there, we all know that this is a repro sticker you bought last year and that the story about it being in the attic for years is a load bull. You could choose to do the honourable thing right now and take the listing down and stick to selling your wool.

Or alternatively we could bid it up to kingdom come, and not pay for it with the excuse that it is a snide repro?

 

[Black Falcon]

Just to back up what Jason has said, I agree that this looks close, but just a little off.

Sorry I meant to post about this a few days back - good call out Jason!

Nice one. Almost never works but does take away any excuse that they "didn't know".

Have filed a report with ebay. Let's see what they make of it.

Well done for mentioning all of the above Jason. I noticed that listing this week and wanted to mention it as I knew you had one of only two new examples but thought I'd better not out a live auction in case it was the real deal. It's really bad of the seller to come up with the BS story line and well done again for messaging him to let him know you know what he did last summer! :lol:

Let's all keep up the good work outing these people as they show up with their shoddy goods and dodgy stories.

 

[jedi_masters]

FFS what a ****.

'It appears to be original' then in smaller print underneath 'I cant confirm if this is original or not so have started the auction at 0.99p'

What a ****ing areshole.

 

[jedi_masters]

I've reported him as well. The more of us that do it the better. Shut this ****er down.

 

[Dark Sith Lord]

Thanks for the heads up Jason! What a ****in arsewipe :roll:

 

[Frunkstar]

Also reported as follows -

Clearly a reproduction as he bought it on on here only last year see this item number 280697737141

 

[mr_palitoy]

That's 3 reports now. Hopefully ebay will do something.

*Doesnt hold breath*

I also sent him this message -

This is clearly a FAKE as well you know having bought it here on ebay last year along with a MOC which is clearly visable in your feedback history, I would suggest you remove the item from sale, or I will be reporting it to ebay - found it in my loft in deed, tut tut!


3 reports & auction still running, yet my better half put some burkinstocks (flip flop type things) when she started selling on ebay & got a warning for selling fake items & they were not even fakes :?

 

[Richard_H]

I reported it too
