Very Sad! - A Vicious Circle!

Quite frankly, I think the best thing to do is just not to deal with that particular person again, if they want to mix the good with the bad and do it in a most blatant way, I would be very happy to look elsewhere.

I bought two badges from a seller on ebay and returned both, the first was a KLR which a forum member said was wrong and the second an Essex and Suffolk Cyclist which was a very good fake, the seller returned my money less postage, I gave him positive feedback as he had IMO behaved correctly and he promptly banned me from bidding on his auctions.

If only all dud badge dealers followed his example . . !

Hello Rob,
I think you did the right thing, bad news travels rather faster than good these days and if he does that all the time, his customer base will decrease.
Regards Frank

Yes , I do, why is it that there are now all these differing badges, there certainly was not thirty five yeas ago.
A real one is certainly worth more than the price paid too!
