Is it just me or is there a lot of fake stuff sold in spain ? :?

Sadly fake stuff sold everywhere. The guy who is very prolific in Spain is called Nathan Edwards, which doesn't sound very Spanish so he might actually be an English ex-pat....

I was unfortunate enough to have just bought a mailer coupon , 4 figures and foot pegs sealed from devjohn , I would never known it was a fake unless you guys had brought it to my attention,
I contacted him straight away and to be fair he instantly refunded the full purchase cost as well he should now what do I do ?

I feel I should not send the coupon back as I do not want anyone falling for this scam

Your Thoughts please

Cheers Simon

If you bought it through ebay contact them and report the matter. They will advise you NOT to return the coupon as it is counterfeit. DOn't do anything with it until you have spoken to them, though. Personally, I would report him to trading standards if he is based in the UK. Never dealt with him, never will, so I have no knowledge of where he operates from.

The repro seller from Spain is at least being honest.. the bigger issue was a seller called Devjohn who was bundling the fakes with other legit EB items and selling them for $100s. Several stung buyers have got their money back but it is safe to assume that there are a fair few of these forgeries now circulating amongst collectors.

They would pair well with Darren Ormes work. Which still exists on Ebay to no avail.
