Likewise. Maybe this will get some traction with ebay.

I looked into the fake gabybutti listings ages ago and moaned about it like
everyone else. Eventually I actually came up with proof that the guys at Ebay
might be able to understand.

The first image is a real copy of a demo FMTY from the yokono site.
The second image is clearly a copy of the yokono image and used by gabybutti
on his listing. There are identical marks on both labels proving the ebay listing
was a copy and therefore fake.

I received no feedback from ebay. I gave up.

Great!!!! Just added my comment. I'm concerned that what all purchased counterfeits end up? Re-sale. They should not be spread.

I also see the dot just below the first r in "reserved."

...and also unique to this demo. There is a tiny bit missing from the top of the 'a' in
Parlophone. Faithfully reproduced on the gabybutti copy!!!!!!

...can't believe people are actually bidding on the TTR demo!

Now we know why SOME gullible buyers are taken in by gabybutti! They're just
plain stupid...

UPDATE!!!

Once again RESULT. I found the original image for the TTR fake recently removed
by gabybutti from sale on Ebay after 'freakbeatmod45' posted the same image in
an attempt to expose him as the fraud he is. AND, once again the image used by the
faker is from the yokono.com site.

Working with our friend 'freakbeatmod45' I have emailed the yokono.com site
and sent them the gabybutti images showing them his fake copies of their site
images.

I have advised them that their images are being used to produce fakes on the basis
there is blatant copyright infringement taking place. I'll post their reply if
they respond.

Excellent!!!

Now I think we need a similar tactics against that prick Dmilecki with his never ending stream of fake acetates................

Dmilecki will be tougher to deal with because the proof is much more complicated. There isn't a known genuine exemplar, and it doesn't appear that he's stealing his images.

For my own very selfish reasons, ridding ebay of gabybutti is a higher priority (I don't buy acetates, but I do buy rare items from Bolivia, Chile, Turkey and the UK).
