Fake anytime they say "has correct markings"
In Response To: Fake or Real? ()

Besides it being obviously the wrong colors and having *way* too short hands, there are several dead giveaways of it being a fake in the description:

"BEAUTIFUL OMEGA... BUT AT A FRACTION OF THE PRICE." [If it wasn't fake, why would it be at a fraction of the price?]

"IT HAS THE CORRECT MARKINGS..." [Wouldn't need to even mention this if it were real.. obviously, a real one would have the correct markings!]

"PLEASE BE AWARE OF THE TYPE OF ITEM YOU ARE LOOKING AT BEFORE BIDDING." [Thinly disguised statement that this "type of item" is something other than what it might seem on the surface.]
