well, at least he makes it clear that its a copy of a Ric and not a real one. I would think that this thing violates about 3 dozen patents.

That's why I figured to let people here know it is fake because when you get auction fever you don't pay attention to things in your excitement and can get screwed.

It DOES say "Copy" in the title...that should be a pretty clear indicator!

But yeah, the novice could be fooled...
