The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

This guy is using images copied from the internet for things he doesn't own... but is willing to sell.

I reported his auctions to eBay, along with links to the websites he's copied. eBay sees no problems... That infuriates me. Anyway, be careful...

Hi JerryVan,

I saw that listing and thought it was some type of high end crapophone, which is a contradiction in terms. Thanks for taking the action you did.

Located in India. Enough said.

You really thought a genuine Victor VI was a Crapophone? I'm surprised.

Not quite. There are just as many con artists in the UK, US and mainland Europe. I've dealt with several Indian dealers and the only problem has been the cost of shipping, perhaps not surprisingly.

Steve,

As for the comment about a genuine Victor 6 looking somewhat like a crapaphone, I really didn’t look at it that closely the first time. It was just a passing thought.

Funny! What's your Buy-It-Now price?

Maybe if you report the seller to eBay, they'll finally be convinced it's a fraud.
