    WORST CASE COPIES & FAKES ON EBAY UK


    Recommended Posts

    :beer: To all the gang :beer:

    and a word of warning to any new potential collectors beware of buying anything listed by these sellers, nearly all the badges and medals are very poor quality copies in base metal and I believe they are the same person and they change their trade name like other people change socks.

    Avril has more items listed in her online shop (53 Pages!!) than Sunshine, but they use similar code numbers among the title description.

    AVRIL 390 located in Leicester.

    Hallo Mike, :beer:

    thanks for your reply, to my eyes some of the items are identical in the photos, my concern is that the same item gets sold twice, or one "good photo" is used to sell similar items, so therefore what you see, might not be what you get. And a new or beginner collector might not notice this.

    Take a look at the Pour le Merite though looks nice with a skull in the centre piece :o
