The guy selling them must be a real piece of work.You said he's been told numerous times they are fake,and any decent seller would quit selling them and thank you for pointing it out to him.
And you are right Al-he keeps on popping up with a new one,and keeps on with the "I've only seen two others....I've only seen three others...(something to that effect)"..........
So how many could he have?
What is Ebay doing about it?

Ok, so this is totally wrong, but I've seen it done by some of the old bicycle crowd when there's a scam afoot (Usually involving "selling" a bike that had been sold legitimately before - the scammer steals the picture and sells through a hijacked account)

What they've done is to have a second throwaway Ebay account, and two of the people bid the item up to some silly price like 2 million or so. Then they stall long enough for the bill to reach the seller for the fees. Tougher now that paypal is required, but still possible. Before the paypal only rule they'd claim they mailed payment, worked great since the scammers wanted it mailed to a different address.

And yes, it's very wrong and I wouldn't reccomend it etc......
