Hi,

just for your information, I bought these documents on the dutch site "Marktplaats". What he promissed was on the left which is okay but what I recieved was on the right.... I sent them back and he signed for the return but mister kept my 50 euro's.... Police have been notified, if no result a small visit awaits him so watch out.

here is the ad: just do a search on 11724349613 at upper right "zoek"
His name Rob Stal from Maastricht (also selling medals)

That's not the only typo, Home Fronts are no longer spelled with capitals.

Good luck Dirk getting your money back!

Cheers, Luc

What a jerk!

Dirk,

Marktplaats is a pitfall, even more crap there than on eBay !!!
Those swindlers show good one and sell bad fakes, easy way to make money.

Hope the police will make proper work of it

Looks like the one you received is made on a computer printer.
Great Crusade on the good one great crusade on the bad copy.

Can only wish you good luck !!!

yours
Eric-Jan

Hi,

thanks for all your support in this issue. The scumbag has still not replied but I noticed he is also into the illegal DVD copying service (100 top DVD films for 100 euro's ... surely all original...)

Marktplaats is well known to the Dutch collectors.
It`s almost allways fake.

But 50 euro`s for that paper .
I would only pay such an amount if i can get it in my hands and feel it,sniff it .
Only on a auction or militaryshow i would buy something like this.
Not on an i-netsite like freaking Marktplaats.

It`s a beginnersmistake for the most of collectors.

Wow, and who are you then? Judging my act like that saying it's my own fault? This incident is a pure crime... luckely only just my second bad experience on Markplaats in militaria since they started in 1995.

I still can say that the majority of people on that site are honest and not suckers living off criminal acts and abusing the trust of people who earn their money, besides that I have bought some (very) rare items on it to. Not everybody has a criminal mind you know.

Other than that I hardly think this incident is a 'beginnersmistake' at all.

Your comment looks to me more like a beginners mistake .
