Sub-standard or Real?

Can you tell me if this seems right to you? The date, among many things seems incorrect. Just saw it on Craigslist.

http://richmond.craigslist.org/jwl/3398634455.html

Dont know how to post the image... Sorry

Thoughts?

The seller is a member of TRF and is playing the ignorance card but I'm not buying it. Looks like a ban is in order!

Yup. After thanking us for pointing out that it was fake and having his ebay auction shut down, this piece of trash went and posted it as real on CL for $6K...

I sent him an email and the following is his reply to me...

"...thank you very much. All anyone ever tells me its fake but do not give a reason. I'm going to take it to someone to look at and then take it down if it is fake."

I think he just listed it in the Richmond CL for $100... Seriously?

All he has to do is compare it to a genuine piece. As a matter of fact, someone already posted a picture of the genuine article for comparison purposes for him in another thread. He knows exactly what he has. I can't wait for a mod to see this.

Removed from ebay, then listed on CL as a Replica. And he's now been banned from TRF.

I dont know why he even came to this forum if his intention was to sell it as fake no matter what was said about it. Why even come and defend yourself.
I guess he didnt think anyone would notice he reposted it on craigslist and we would think he was great for pulling the ebay ad.
What a scumbag
