Oh dear thanks for this Lars, got to love that listing. 'They are not recognised as originals', no they are not origional. :|

This is the same jackass that was selling tons of fakes on ebay over the past year or more, 'joggers' I think his username was, he's now under this different new username.

He originally started off scamming buyers advertising them as original, but when the community and buyers eventually started landing on him for scamming people he changed his listings to sell them as repro. But like you've seen he's still trying to hope to deceive and trick people into buying them by practically saying... "I bought these as originals but they're not recognised, but there's a chance they could be original"... the dick knows full well what they were when he bought them.

Gotta love his other comment too...

"I have a son that collects ukg and AFA figures graded 85 and above so willing to swap for bulk of weapons"..... :lol: :lol:

You are welcome, also scary how cheap they are 100 weapons for £100 :shock: imperial blaster looks easy to spot and if I remember correct tig also have that one in the guide. Looks like water test is not something we need to use anymore I always used water test first and then I looked looked at the weapons that passed the water test to see if they could pass the tig guide

Maybe he accept repro for trade in return :lol: thanks I did not know it was the same guy omg

Almost as bad/sad is all the people buying them, look at all the positive feedback he has for them, part of the problem is that he sells them because people buy them and keep on buying them.

I agree but who the **** buy them ? ok I know some buy them to compare and ID them with the originals so they do not get tricked when they buy original weapons and then some share the info about them on forum like tig and also on this forum. But who the **** do also buy them since he can sell them ? :?

:lol: I might stick a repro figure in a display case and print out my own label with a fake 85 grade on it, that will be a fair trade then. :wink:

This is very upsetting, thanks for sharing. The simple float or drop test does not cut it anymore, you have to have a bloody expert to spot them.....I wish there was a service to send away all the accessories in one batch to authenticate what you have are ok. On the same topic, has there been any incidents where Repro has been graded as original...how do the graders confirm they are genuine?

What I don't understand is this guy selling a repro Jawa blaster for £24.99 - and you don't even get free postage. And if it gets damaged in the post it is the buyers responsibility too!!

Wowww that's just plain stupid...

"If sending in padded envelope the risk of damage is taken solely by the buyer and no responsibility falls on me to refund or replace."

What an arsehole!

I believe I t's that t**t Chris Smith on Facebook. He runs a Reproduction Accessories group on FB and is the original supplier of all the so called 'Saltburn' Repro.

He also got sent down for selling fake football kits earlier in the year.

There is a lad on facebook, dont know if he posts here, but he is a Topps artist and prominent at Echo Live and on the Facebook groups. He was identifying repros, but dont know if he still is.

Some of you know who i am on about, but wont print his name.
All around nice bloke.
