ANOTHER BOGUS GOLDEN NUGGET SLOT MACHINE HOSTED BY EBAY

ANOTHER FAKE.
Note the "almost shows it all" photos that are the current trend amongst those that are fully aware they are selling fake / reproduction slot machines.
they show JUST enough to entice the unsuspecting buyer.
sad!!!

Poor, out-of-focus pix seems to be the trend with the sellers of Fake machines.
I also noticed that he sold the very same Repro "Warped Beagle", to the very
same buyer, in June, twice, and got two feedbacks posted. How does that figure?
Check the pix in both listings. His 'Cat-in-the-Hat' uniform is sitting in the same
place on the washer. He may have more than one userID, and is selling items to
himself, and posting feedback on both. There is no way to check the other ID,
because of ebays new coding practices. The 'bidding-on-your-own-items' with
multiple ID's has been common practice for many. I personally know two that
have done it, and one of them only had one of the two ID's shut down in the
transaction, instead of both. Could never figure that one out either. I have
also known people that have been tossed-off ebay for a lesser offence.

He might also be selling items to a "friend/partner", simply paying ebay their commission and posting feedback for each other, then agreeing later to cancel the sale and all money is refunded.
Doesn't matter how he is doing it. Fact is he is doing it and fleabay doesn't seem to care. Note the date stamp on photo is 2006.

Guys like this really damage new collectors.
