factotum hoax on ebay?? (1 Viewer)

[darren]

why has no body mentioned the (signed?) copy of factotum on ebay. or is it just too plain ridiculous to warrant a thread..?

Hi,
A few of us e-mailed the seller at the time and he seems fit to deceive at this point. People see the money and cannot bring themselves to stop the auction. I just e-mailed all bidders to let them know that they are bidding on a 100% fake and painfully bad forgery at that. If he cannot stop it, I will. It is at $71 now. Check back in a bit and see if anyone has dropped their bid!

Yeah, he won't change the auction. Look at the questions at the bottom of the auction. Apparently we aren't qualified to determine that is a fake signature.

Wow. That's a valuble book!

Looks like someone had the same idea I did. ;)

Hi,
I see two people are going to keep this safe. It is up to $1000. The only problem with this is when the winner does not pay the $1000, he will go to #3bidder and offer it for a GREAT price of only $200.

Still it is funny.

Great job!

Muhahhahahahahahahaha!

Or maybe he'll get the point and not try to play it off as genuine. Probably not, but at least now it's a problem for him. Hopefully bidder #3 (and 4 and 5...) will smell something fishy and pass.

That's just great what you're doing guys! The seller should have pulled that auction long ago. At least people can see your e-mails and hopefully stay away from this seller next time he shows up.

ok,.. Ive got the "sig" down pretty good and the "little man with the bottle" is almost there....wonder what I can get for a signed "come on in" w/art??? (hard cover of course)

 

[Bukfan]

Ha-ha, that's funny! I'm sure somebody would go for it not realizing it's a posthumous book...
Maybe the Factotum guy would be interested. Then he could re-sell it for a nice profit...:D
