Default yet another that doesn't want you to see the reverse...

I asked for a view of the reverse - answer was "there is a reverse view" which turned out to be slightly innacurate.
The front photograph was a bit murky so I asked whether it was AA or New Metal
- the answer was "metal"

I have often asked sellers to show the reverse of badges etc but 8 out of 10 do not bother to even reply so I just go elsewhere - their loss.

Yep, if they can't be bothered then they can't be trusted and that's their card marked, my money goes elsewhere.

Cheers for highlighting this KLR it’s a good tactic to employ and show the beginners how to approach buying on eBay. There are loads with no back showing I agree is it sharp practice or laziness?
