Re: It's at almost £3000 now! Cripes!

It's mostly despair from me fella, someone is just pouring away thousands of pounds.

The owrse thing about it, is that it's really not very hard to spot a Monaco fake...i can kind of understand someone getting fooled on a Rolex, as the best one's are 98% identical to a nuntrained eye...and even some trained eyes...but these are just junk.

I used to email Ebay every time one came up, but they don't listen and i sadly stopped wasting my breath some time ago.

Really sad.

: The scary thing is it would be only too easy to find 101 mash-ups,
: Frankens and outright fakes... :/

: Some make me smile when I'm in the mood, sometime I just despair.
: Especially with people like us out there happy to give free
: advice, who is still buying this stuff with no research?
