    Looks dodgy to me too.

    This is on another of her auctions
    I would Just like to clear a few things up. I am sick of being bad mouthed by people and having people sending me stupid messages.

    The reason I sell stuff signed by the same bands all the time is because I only bother to meet bands I like, I have no interest in meeting some band that I think is crap as quite frankly I have better things to do. I get so much stuff signed because my job for the past 9 years has involved WORKING WITH BANDS so shock horror i have to communicate with them and THEY SIGN STUFF FOR ME.

    I DO NOT deal in fakes, because quite frankly what is the point, I can't stand people that do like I cant stand ticket touts, it really annoys me to see people ripping of genuine fans so I wouldn't do it. I don't get my stuff authenticated by third party organizations, as I was there when they were signed so why should I pay out ridiculous amounts of money for someone else to authenticate it.

    And finally, I sell my stuff so cheap because at the end of the day, Im a fan too and who really has £60-£100 to spend on a photo no matter who its signed by, I like to sell my stuff at affordable prices, especially as A lot of the bands I meet, I know have a young fan base, and weekly allowances don't stretch that far :)

    Yeh, they're selling a bunch of signed items. They've had a few neutrals / negs as some buyers are questioning the authenticity of the signatures. I wasn't planning on bidding though, just checking it out.

    Would that be a way for them to get out of a SNAD?
    Or are not even Paypal that gullible ;)
    I wonder if the Gaga knows about this? :D

    i bought a "hand signed Rocky 3" Picture/Film cell once, it came and it was a scanned copy of an original. was a mess, seller won the dispute because they never claimed it was an original. £26, i thought it was a bargain, clearly i was stupid

    its a disgrace sometimes
    Been away but now i am back!
