FAKE GOODS ON EBAY

...in one auction, a set of 4 described as imported versions. The price was not unreasonable for them and the seller had a string of similar auctions, all for different DVDs - so I had a punt.
As soon as they arrived, I knew they were copies - paper labels indeed! A bit of a giveaway! The seller was idignant when I first emailed him, insisting they were genuine. From the text of his replies, I deduced I had bought them from a young 'un.
I author, burn and labelled my own DVDs (paper originally, direct printing now) from my camcorder outings and I am fully up to speed on the differences between DVD-5 and DVD-9, so I politely and gently explained the tell-tale signs of a DVDR to the younster. In the end, I returned the DVDs and the lad refunded my money.
To this day, I still reckon the lad had been stuffed by some-one else and truly believed he was selling genuine imported versions of the DVDs.“When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around.
But when I got to be twenty one, I was astonished at how much he had learned in seven years.”
