Julianb Posted April 29, 2016 Posted April 29, 2016 I sold a bootleg copy of Casanova Two on here a few weeks ago for £10 I see it is now on ebay with the seller staying he's not sure if it's an original! Can't see how it can change from a boot to an original whilst in the post? It's at £16 at the moment! 1

BTW couldn't find it, post a link ?

Sjclement Posted April 29, 2016 Posted April 29, 2016 If he's unsure of its originality ..... he just needs to play it. the quality of those boots is CRAP! 1
Chris L Posted April 29, 2016 Posted April 29, 2016 Buying a bootleg then selling it on as a "maybe" knowing full well it's not an original is about as low as it gets. Any chance we can name and shame ?

Steve G Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 Someone called Jackster in Cornwall is the ebay seller.
Chris L Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 A few years ago you could contact a buyer but that's not possible nowadays, I did in the past do that when someone sold a blatant boot described as an original.
Amsterdam Russ Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 The seller has added the following comment to the item... Quote This as been bought to my attention that's it's not an original its a re issue hope that clarify's things
John Ar Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 Heres a thought how do you know that it is yours ??

John Ar Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 Well it s funny the same person sold one 10 days before for £23 just a thought so 2 of those sold in last 2 weeks and I know for fact that they have another 2 copies of this and if you wish will send you the one back you sold me if you wish
Frankie Crocker Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 Always thought the white demos were originals and the orange release was the boot. So, has this been booted again recently?
Rick Cooper Posted May 1, 2016 Posted May 1, 2016 Back in the mid 70s Bob Cattaneo (Daly City Bob) had loads of the Casanova Two on a white demo which looks similar to the one on ebay. I got quite a few copies from him and when they arrived they were fairly obviously not originals, thin vinyl and poor lettering. I complained to him that they were bootlegs. He sent me a furious reply saying how dare I accuse him of illegality and that they were genuine. I suppose he could have got them done legitimately but either way they weren't the original demo, if there was one. I think everyone dealing with him at the time got loads of them especially the guys in the West Midlands. Rick
Sjclement Posted May 1, 2016 Posted May 1, 2016 Same sellers just sold an Earl Grant reissue for £108!!!! wtf
Thecivilservice Posted May 1, 2016 Posted May 1, 2016 Speculating on whether an item is original is against eBay rules so just report these listings and eBay should close them down.

Having read about loads of dodgy listings on ebay over the years it appears that ebay don't give a flying fcuk.
