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(?) :cry:

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 :shock:

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

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..... :roll:

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? :lol:
