Report it and they will take it down and make him at least identify it as bogus. I've been taken by fakes before, and it sets me on fire, I have no time for it, help protect a fellow buyer.
I tried to log in and report it, but doesent seem to work with a US account, keep getting a no page found.

I've actually taken the tack of informing the seller first. Benefit of the doubt, and all that.

I think you done the right thing there george the fact he showed a picture of the dodgy serial number makes me think he might believe it to be a good one

The seller has contacted me to say he's removed the listing.
