I've seen him sell a supposed Greco 335 that looked incredibly dodgy and now he's onto Antoria and Eko fakes, probably as information is less readily available on these brands than the Ibanez related guitars. One Ebayer has started a campaign against him which is a good thing: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FRAUD-WARNING-EKO-LES-PAUL-3 30-ANTORIA-IBANEZ-RARE_W0QQitemZ120115372041QQihZ0 02QQcategoryZ2384QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZView Item SOme of the guitars Meanghost has sold or is selling: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ca tegory=33043&item=190099477921 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ca tegory=2384&item=190103983048 And some of what he has been buying: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&it em=150112925917 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&it em=150113558306 I felt in this case it was necessary to actually post about this on a forum that does offer Antoria information so hopefully other people don't get ripped off. I don't normally make accusations of fraud against people, I haven't bought anything from the seller, but in this case he is clearly corrupt to the level of using the pictures of the cheap guitars he buys as the pictures on his sales! If this contravenes any forum rules, then I understand if the admins remove the post. I felt it necessary to post about it.   Gemberbier Username: Gemberbier Registered: 5-2006 Posted on Wednesday, May 02, 2007 - 5:47 pm:    I read his feedback profile. He's a Video DVD pirate, selling DVD copies of VHS films. 159 pounds for the Alba guitars is about 240 euros. That's not so bad, but the BIN prices seem too high. And using a BRAND name and an ERA that have NOTHING to do with this guitar is indeed fraud. I think he was VERY lucky in his purchases. 34.50 and 42 pounds for two setneck LP guitars with a gigbag is incredible. I would not have any problem selling them for 150-225 euros, presenting them as "set neck LP copy". Why does he use a vintage brand name? He must be quite desperate to make some money...

I hate the fact Ebay do nothing to tackle this kind of pond life - the until he tries to "sell" a Rickenbacker copy, perhaps... Jon.
