Damage Done on EBAY

THE place for your Sisters-related comments, questions and snippets of Sisters information. For those who do not know, The Sisters of Mercy are a rock'n'roll band. And a pop band. And an industrial groove machine. Or so they say. They make records. Lots of records, apparently. But not in your galaxy. They play concerts. Lots of concerts, actually. But you still cannot see them. So what's it all about, Alfie? This is one of the few tightly-moderated forums on Heartland, so please keep on-topic. All off-topic posts will either be moved or deleted. Chairman Bux is the editor and the editor's decision is final. Danke.

Oh yes! :lol:

Hope no-one gets really cheeky and emails the seller to tell them it's fake ... :wink:
Loki was never worshiped as the other Gods,
Which is quite understandable.

To be fair, I suppose it's possible that the guy selling it doesn't (well, didn't) know that it's a fake. But I suggest that anyone bidding should be told... :innocent:

yes I agree with MF. In the past years lot of dealers sell fakes copies for high ammount and given as original press. Only recently when RC magazine wrote an extensive piece for watch the differents, lots of peoples realised that them had bought a fakes copies.

From a collectors point of view the fake is much as rare as the original

Some people even say that it´s harder to get the bootleg than the original these days.

I dont know how many of the fake "DD" were made. I´ve never seen one but i´ve heard they are from japan...

I'll happily swap that fake for an original.

In fact I'd swap it for a packet of crisps

Looks like the seller now cancelled the auction.

Maybe it should be reposted for 15GBP ??? :)

I also told her it's a fake; she thought it was genuine, so I've directed her to Y's images of the real and fake sleeves.

I do feel a bit guilty actually. I thought it was someone trying to do a deliberate rip-off, but she seemed honestly to think it was genuine.

Looks like she was the one ripped off.

Just can't believe someone would actually pay 124 GBP for the fake 7" :eek:

I was guessing 50-60 GBP max!! Oh well...

Yeah, but most of the originals are still under :von:'s bed because they didn't sell.
