2006-05-13 by hodsonmonster

Hi all, 
I currently have a TR 808 on eBay and someone has just copied my posting in its entirety 
too!

This one is mine 

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?
ViewItem&item=7412827590&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMESE%3AIT&rd=1

and the scam one

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?
ViewItem&item=7414320687&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1

I actually contacted eBay and they told me they woudl only remove the copied listing if I 
could prove it was fake!!! errrmmm... its exactly the same I said.... prove it they said... 
*shrug*

oh well... think Im gonna buy a PEK with the money :)
