I was thinking the same Ed. That Buyer actually look at the pictures?

[spedrunr]

it's like training bank tellers for conterfeit money, the way you can tell it's fake is if you've seen enough of the real stuff(?)

i was forutunate to see the fakey early on in my glove collecting career at a PIAS (and saw the POS up close and personal)

i still have this nasty rash that flares up whenever i come in contact with cheap leather and vinyl

As Homer Simpson once said "If you're dumb enough to eat it, you deserve to die."

it's one thing if both the seller and buyer are not aware that it's a fake. but i've seen the seller selling nice stuff on ebay in the past. i believe it's a deliberate deception.

easy to say when it happens to another buyer, but if it's you, me or someone we care about.....

the deception continues

Ok, I'm new. But those gloves definitely look cheap.

The seller calls it an "upgrade to the A2000"? Like since the glove is a 3000 then that means it's better than a 2000?
