Pb! Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 One thing I've found on Ebay is anything called 'vintage' in the heading never is. This is an obviously brand new shirt and the seller has got one gullible potential buyer about to over pay by $270: http://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-VERY-RARE-LED-ZEPPELIN-SHOWCO-SOUND-1973-TOUR-T-SHIRT-/231508794772?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item35e6ffdd94 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperDave Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 What a sucker! But the individual still has 3 days to remove his bid. Perhaps he'll smarten up in the coming days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mothership Drummer Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Looks like it sold. Poor bastard. I don't get on Ebay much anymore these days but anytime I would see these scams, I would contact the bidder and attempt to save him. I would also give the equivalent of Peter Grant's TSRTS backstage rant to the seller and report them. Always good to know your source. I bought John Bonham's hat from a VERY reliable source. When you're talking that kind of money, there better be all kinds of proof on the table. Hate to see this happen to people. As long as there's an extra nickle to be drained......

Mothership Drummer Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 The brown one? That's cool Yep. It was like touching the holy grail. Hahahaha. I have since passed it along through another reputable auction house and did pretty well. I felt it was time to let someone else appreciate it. Was an honor to own though. Next up? Jimmy's phone number. Hahahahaha. Kidding of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 It's sad that seller has a perfect feedback rating selling garbage over the past six months under that eBay ID. When someone realizes that they've been ripped off and gives him a negative feedback, he will simply abandon that ID and start over by creating a brand new seller ID. eBay will let him do that over and over, as many times as he wants to. I would think that eBay would not allow sellers to do that, but they condone such behavior and in their help area it even explains that multiple seller IDs are not a problem--it probably even explains how to create them. That is one of the reasons that I stopped using eBay years ago. I am sure that may miss out on some good stuff occasionally but I guess that I will never really know, so that's OK.
