Good afternoon gents! Paid a lot of money for this from a reputable seller, he was more than happy for me to post photos for consideration on any site. Does anyone have any views, good or bad? Thanks!

What are the giveaways here?
I looked at it last night, but couldn't find one exactly like it to compare too. Which rang alarm bells. But as I'm a newbie to Imperial gear, I thought best to remain quiet and not rain on what I hoped was a good buy for the buyer.Comment

Evaluate the item, not the story and not the seller's reputation!
If you PM/contact me without the courtesy of using your first name, please don't be offended if I politely ignore you!Comment

Any outcome yet? Has the badge been returned?Comment

Thank you Don, Mike, streptile and muz for your honest advice. The guy ripped me off badly, I paid his asking price, his site fee, the paypal fee, I sent him $700NZ with his money back guarantee assuredly ringing in my ears, and now he refuses to answer my emails, and blacklisted me after giving me positive feedback. By blacklisting me, I can't contact him through the site. I've lodged a complaint with site management, but I'm not sure I can do anything else.Comment

I'm sorry this has happened to you. I don't want to be overly negative. But, I doubt eBay will help you. From personal experience, their buyer protection is a crock, largely because they can't force any seller to reimburse money. All they can do is suspend the seller who can quite easily come back under a new name.Originally posted by newcollector View Post
I would however publish his name here, for what it's worth as someone else may have had dealings with him and may know his real name.Comment

If you paid via Paypal - send the item back via tracked mail and start a claim with Paypal 'item not as described' It may take a while but you should be refunded by them.
Also you should ring Trademe and not e-mail....
Contact me via e-mail and I will try and assist you.Last edited by nzef1940; 09-15-2012, 08:43 PM.Comment

I know his name from the paypal transaction, it's James Moore, and he lives in Christchurch City, Canterbury, New Zealand. He trades on the New Zealand site Trade Me under the username of collbelle.Originally posted by bolewts58 View PostComment

Thanks for the offer of help Mike, email is on the way. Unfortunately, I threw out the packaging that my fake came in, and don't have a return address. I tried to start a claim with paypal, but they said they couldn't help me as my transaction was not for goods or services. I didn't understand that, and sent them an email. I will ring paypal and Trade Me if I don't hear from them in a day or so.Originally posted by nzef1940 View PostComment
