"HIGLY collectable"!


It must be a scam & he's actually selling boxes full of Fauxhibas.

Ah, as I thought:

..and in case you're wondering about the box, it's a VIP Gift version or copy thereof. Not sure if "VIP" is the same as, or different to "Diplomatic":

Yup! That's why I quite fancied it...until I saw the postage rate

[moidoid]

He's selling 25 'Lanceros' and the postage is to get around Ebay rules on selling tobacco.

Bit cheeky, having a website selling fakes, isn't it. I bet he gets a few sales though.

LOL....+1

Have you spotted that all his testimonials were sent within about 15 minutes of each other a few days ago?

I was just wondering if there was the slightest possibility that he might have a source of genuine VIP gift Lanceros, despite the obvious fakes elsewhere on his site, but the above observation nails any possible credibility.

I have thus reported his obvious cigar sale to ebay - who have yet to act (perhaps they believe an empty box can cost ?149 to Express deliver?)

As did I.

"This listing (260700950145) has been removed, or this item is not available."

As I don't agree with ebay's tobacco restrictions I feel a bit hypocritical using them to get fakes taken down. However the ends justify the means & it's the only sure-fire way to get a listing cancelled, it being impossible to prove why you think they're fauxhibas in the measly 50 or so characters allowed.
