Seller is known fake seller from Asia.
Don\'t believe? Just ask him for detail photos and you will get blocked from bidding.

It\'s sad that this is still going on...
However, if there was one on sale for less than $10 I\'d probably buy it, despite it being a total fake.

I now have both, a real one and a fake one. There are only few significant differencies. I will make photos soon and put them together for an article on my blog.

For now:
- the matrix code of the real one is much bigger than the one on the fake version
- as already known, the matrix code on the real one is reversed when seen from the silver side
- the matrix code of the real one can not be seen through the orange side
- the orange colour is less even on the real one
- the booklet is a bit less colourful for the real one
- overall the real one looks a bit more dirty or underground

Please post a ink to your blog when the article is ready.

*Edit: Duh. Nevermind.

I\'ve made a small post containing some photos:

Please support the article by clicking on the "YiGG button" and/or the "Facebook button" at the end of the post. The goal is to destroy the business of those whacky Asians.

This post should be stickied to the top of the board.

Thanks for the info. Looks like mine is real.

I\'m currently working on another post about several rare CDs from other bands, also being sold by these sellers. I\'ve had contact to several buyers of fakes and already have provided eBay all the evidence I have. Let\'s see what they\'ll do...

Nice one Hex on the all work you\'re doing there in compiling these evidence documents etc! Still, like you\'ve alluded to, I wouldn\'t be holding my breadth for Ebay to take any action/s against it.
