A 2007 pin going for £199.99 + £7.99 postage , but check out the size 30mm
|
The seller changes the listing slightly each time , latest one (£9.99 buy it now) states :
"red pin badge,rare date, (2007) small version." - No mention of 'poppy' or 'RBL'.
"very small comppared to the normal ones measuring only about 30mm overall." - The official RBL 2007 pin is 18mm x 8mm and the double dated pins are 25mm x 15mm.
There is a photo of the pin but nothing to show actual size and also a photo of a previous listing (by a different seller) of a genuine 2007 pin that sold for £60.00 ( obviously posted to show what a "bargain" this one is).
What annoys me is that this time the listing has the eBay "charity" ribbon and states that "10% of the sale of this item will benefit Royal British Legion Merseyside Branch". - Yet the seller is from Norwich !
Photo shows genuine small 2007 pin and the large fake one.
