Ebay doesn't care, don't even waste your time. |

I was going to say the same thing, what's the point. I just can't believe it's got bids, and good bids too. So sad |

Anyone bidding on that needs a trip to their local optometrists |

In the past, you used to be able to contact the bidders to warn them, but sadly not anymore. |

Not really Fraud is it Hoarder?? Theres been a couple of these over the last 12month gone for £180 to £250..If Real they would be £1800 or £2500 (or more)?..As we all know..The Reproz now are getting good money..Alot of them are 40yrs old now So to sum people who sell now and again on Ebay they really do think that their Originals..The low price shows that its not real..It would be different if some one had bid 2k on it..omo by the way |

What will be interesting is when those repos get to be 100 years old, will they be called antique reproduction??? |

Ebay has become the wild west again. I think since covid, they have axed the policing side of it. You can send each other messages and sell outside ebay dead easy now. Lots of other stuiff people seem to be getting away with. |

Thanks for the heads up Al.
The last couple times I tried to make an offer, they threatened to suspend my account.
Game on ! |
