Default Sylvana39 ??

I was just thinking back to the good old days when I started buying and selling on ebay and remembered getting profoundly shafted with some fake CEF badges by an ebay seller, now long gone that went by Sylvana39 or some such thing. They used that name up by accumulating negative feedback and then started in with another of Sunshine or something like that. They were out of Nuneaton, near Coventry in England. This was over 10 years ago.

They were selling really bad cast versions of CEF badges, all for around 5 quid or 5 dollars each with really fuzzy photos and a description that said something like "Old looking badge, could maybe use a polish".

Was just wondering if anybody else remembers them.

Ah, so a few of you do remember. I see if you look at that Sunshine_x10 username, the username history shows no previous names. I guess they started "afresh" I was told her name was Sylvana Strong. They seem to have stopped for a while.

So many bad pieces,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, so many nice chaps screwed,,,,,,,,,,,

I seem to remember the seller being called Lenton or something like that a few years ago.
