Yep, the real fools will wait till the end in hopes of getting a bargain. Even at 250 it is silly unless you collect fakes.

Even if closeup pictures are supplied, it's hard to tell real from fake.

True, but this fishing weight has Rudolf Souval's LDO-style code on it so I don't think it could be mistaken for one of the tiny handful of genuinely theatre-made examples known, like the ones made at sea or the two Oakleaves commissioned in Italy by Richard Heidrich for a couple of his FJ commanders. As for the other eBan link, I hope nobody would bid on it thinking that they might be getting the real thing.
