Think this got picked up recently on here with feedback to the seller

Item now clearly listed as genuine original - which it is not

Hi Richard, I've been following this one as well. I thougth copies with the Raised 'X' in the dead wax were originals.

Best,

Dave

THEY ARE DAVE, ARE ORIGINALS ON STYRENE AS WELL, THIS BOOT/REISSUE LOOKS LIKE PLACCY

The original has a raised 'X' on styrene

This is a bootleg on vinyl with a scratched in 'X'

There is a green vinyl original but the label colour and layout is quite different

Loads of threads on here about originals versus counterfeits

Cheers

Richard

This is the same copy that was in sales on here so he's seen this thread and still selling as original,whats with the raised x description it's not it's scribbled in not a stamp proper X.and yeh styrene one are the real thing.

Thanks Bri -makes sense now!

Dave

What i find astounding is that there are 4 bidders "to date" that have bid over £40 and they have 211 , 491 , 500 & 680 purchases to their credit , ( or more likely discredit ). It's not like they're "new" to the game is it ? I find it unbelievable how collectively they know **** all .

Can't quite bring myself to post a comment/question saying it is a counterfeit

Richard

Richard, I emailed the seller this afternoon regarding Exus Trek.

Dave

actually it says that it's a "genuine copy"!

I reported a dealer selling obvious bootlegs to ebay twice over the last month, other than an acknowledgement email no action as the people are still trading. On Ebay.

Went for £125 - unbelievable

Dear kevinw7962,

Hi,

A few ebayers have suggested this is a reissue, but I did buy what I thought was an original.

If you win I will send you a scan and photos of the distinguishing "x" and you get a full refund if it's not what you wanted.

Thanks,

Oisin

no reply to this one

Just goes to show one born every minute , that £125 would get you ten nice original 45s from the same era ....

Its a vinyl boot!.....the New York pressed Shelley Products "X" is raised on styrene and the lookalike bootlegs (which were a very good quality press) have an etched "X" on vinyl..... the vinyl originals are west coast pressed...bulletproof quality and look like this: (thanx to P.Smith for mine )
