Not far off £600 for an original blouse and a few fake badges. Someone really got done.

 - This sort of thing is only going to get worse as time goes on.
Bad Airborne Strip for a start.

And "original" shoulder titles (made this year by Pegasus Militaria) 
I always thought this ebay seller was ok - wonder if he bought the blouse in good faith?.

Possibly, but private listings make me VERY suspicious.

Nope. He's bad to the bone mate! He listed one like this last year, only I think that one had original wings on it.
He knows his stuff alright. He's very experienced. It doesn't make him a goodey though.
I have asked a few people about him and they all came back with scammer etc.
I bought some badges off him a while back. No probs though, everything was great. I think it's just a case of slipping the odd dud in here and there to make a few extra bob.

Of course!, ebay's "wonderful" private listing feature which must be used far more by sellers who are up to no good than those who need to use it for legitimate reasons
It's hard to know what to do sometimes - I've warned inexperienced buyers against spending a fortune on a bad ebay item but then that forces the shady sellers to use the private listing feature.

Exactly, because he knows his stuff he has some idea of how to pull a stunt like this. I feel so sorry for the winner of this item but then as a collector that's one of the most important things you have to learn - don't buy anything costing BIG bucks until you've done your research.
Cheers fellas.

That's because it has been artificially aged John.
