    Same Old, Same Old fraud....





    Look carefully at that box? See those nice clean white edges? That's a fake box! Yet another case of a seller being misleading, though "technically correct"!

    MATCHBOX #31 FORD STATION WAGON,

    issued 1957

    Made in England by LESNEY

    (yellow body, metal wheels)

    Used with Box

    We are up front about every item we sell. Our objective is for the buyer to know exactly what they are bidding on, so when the item arrives, there are no surprises. Please reference picture’s to clarify description as to the quality of the piece. However don’t hesitate to ask a question prior to placing a bid. Item as you see in photos.
    But wait! There's more! We've seen this guy before... and methinks Randy had a run in with him last year!

    He's technically correct. He is selling a box with the model. It is a FAKE box, nonetheless! How "correct" of him. Fraud, by my metric. Why does ANYBODY deal with this little crook?

    Call me at my telephone number, +1 (603) 985-431 Extension 62 and I shall fill you in on all the details! Then, let's look at every single one of his offers and post the description and some photos here!!?? let's have members here psot their own experiences with this fraud!

    Had a great time, you should have been at the Gathering of Friends!! It was an awesome party and you NEED to be there next year!

    Is there no copyright issues with box reproduction? I'm not that clued up with RW but I worry for the day they start on the picture boxes, if they haven't already. Surely these people would have a much better life walking up and down the beach selling wooden stuff? Leave MB alone.

    Those have long been reproduced and available from several sources. Worry more and recheck your collection.

    What do you all think of the blue removals van? Does it look original?

    If it's from this same seller, why even bother looking at his auctions?
    (Oh, yeah ... cause Mark wants to pick them all apart)

    Well, I never really thought about it. I don't have any htf boxes and have mainly bought picture boxes off of people where I know a bit about them. All my boxes look like they are years old and they stink. That box above looks fake from a mile away, at least brown it off in the oven or something, I have food boxes that look older! Ta.
