Isn't it ... it's incredible to get this far

A lot of suspicious listings from that particular seller....

This is the same seller as the fake wootton major
Signature currently for sale.
Note just relisted using same words for £4.99!

Back with a "better" price...

Here is the sellers reply to my nice message to him suggesting they check the signature

I will report and block you from my website and I don’t need any advice from you old sod

I won’t copy his other reply a bit more colourful

Gone back up in value 😳😳😳

Alas, not as preciouss as the £ 2.800 Puffin.

The duct tape is a nice touch.
