A Red Jules Verne?

Already reported this to eBay but thought it was worth posting. If you check their feedback they sold another horrendous fake not too long ago. Sad.

Despite the fact that this pen was not produced in a Rollerball, or red lacquer, it's scary in it's generally similar appearance to the real thing.

If these copies start getting any better a lot of people are going to get screwed.

Thanks

Yikes, it's up to $200. Just sent a report myself.

Wow, they are getting good aren't they... Pen looks kind of cool... I feel bad for whoever wins it... I hate to say this, because its not necessarily ebay policy, but when they used to show who was the highest bidder, if I saw a fake, I would always send a message to let people know... I just always felt so bad for people...

Since Ebay never seems to do anything, at least before you tell the people bidding...

How about this? It isn't a 149, but it is a real MB?

Should be OK if you stick to the piston fillers. Haven't seen any fake piston MB in the silk road market in Beijing.

It's a real MB144.

Whoever produced this fake is not good at maths either as the number of ballpoint pens produced was 12,000 with an additional 4,500 in sets. In either case the edition number is not 18,500.

Look at the feedback and some of the past items sold. It seems that there are some people who already got ripped off.

[jniforat]

ha, it's a pretty cool rollerball.

 

it's up to 220.50 now :/

 

at least they can appeal to paypal when they find out, if they find out, they bought a fake.

 

i seriously can't believe people do this -- i mean, i know they do, but still am repulsed by it.

This goes back to my comment the other day about educating yourself about the products you wish to buy from eBay. This appears to be a classic example of someone thinking they may be getting "a deal."

I couldn't agree more with your answer--+1 .

I can't seem to search eBay without finding a fake and the worst part is that people are actually bidding. I guess what Eric said is right.
