I've seen his handle before, I think he's based in Italy although his eBay profile says London, UK. Anyway I'm calling the Rickenwaffen.

WOW...83.3% positive feedback on 300 transactions! You've gotta try pretty hard to get bad feedback so consistently!

I thought it looked kinda fake. It's hard to tell with the out of focus picture, I'm guessing he has a bad pic for just that reason...

The seller has just ended that auction and relisted with a higher BIN... I filed a report with eBay.

Feedback is now calculated for the last 12 months only. The seller (parcoleonardo) had 5 positives and one negative. 5/(5+1)=83.3%

That sucks! I am back down to 0% from a previous 100%.

He posts them in envelopes without a return address, too...he knows he's a baaad boy...

This has to be the Italian seller of fake TRCs. Most of his feedback is in Italian.

I do not want people to think that Italians are all crooks,
there are many fake all over the world,
please.

eBay didn't act and someone paid $95 for it. I wish there was a way to inform the buyer.

Don't worry, Mario. We realize that it's just an individual doing this. You're right, there are individuals in every country which the rest of the people hope is not a representation of everyone there.

I'm not trying to say any such thing, but there has been an Ebay seller from Italy who regularly sells fake Rickenbacker TRCs. He has been discussed in the forum before.

I was informed that the seller's eBay account has been suspended.
