In one paragraph you have underlined - 100% genuine vintage accessories

And in the next (not underlined obviously) - Luke Skywalker stormtrooper disguise,complete with genuine vintage blaster and a very nice reproduction helmet.

For me this is poor sales tactics and would make me saty away from this guys auctions
 
He did state ALL Genuine...then in the same breath states this one has a repro helmet. I agree If he is that contradictory......then I would not trust him for ****.

seconded poor show from the seller hope who ever wins leaves a neg......
 
When I see stuff like this in an auction- even if I really want the piece, I move on.

In 12 years I have only been stung on eBay once.

My advice-

'Move on!' Don't hesitate when something is even slight dodgy. You can PM them- but I always leave it- even if its a major piece Im looking for.

If your head is unsure, and your heart really wants it. Check your gut- hopefully it will say '**** it!' and you will move on to something else.

When I read everyones horror stories on eBay it makes sense.

Also:

If their name is druggy_McBongpipe87 - don't get pissed if it takes them 2 weeks to post your item. :P
 
The thing I hate about these sort of listings is that a newbie collector might read "100% original" first and not read past it causing them to overpay....bad form by the seller!
