Response from the NBHD seller:

Firstly, my partner bought these from a source around 5 years ago in good faith, and seeing as he doesnt spend hours trawling the net looking for signs of real or fakes could of been sold these what you class as fakes unknowingly himself! My point is....we are selling a few unworn items of clothing and shoes to gain extra cash for our baby on the way, so i do not appreciate random strangers messaging me implying that we are some kind of fraudsters selling fake goods.
So i suggest that you get off that high horse of yours and take it somewhere else. we are decent honest people trying to make a little extra cash, thats all, nothing more.

MY RESPONSE:
Thanks for you response.
Whilst i would agree it is very easy to be taken in by unscrupulous sellers but i have no wish to preach to you, but by selling an item that has been pointed out to be clearly not genuine (Do your own research if you don't believe me) You're only continuing/adding too this fraudulent process.
I'm sure the people that made/sold the shoes in the first place have arguments similar to yours to try justify their actions. I'm not trying to take food from your babies mouth just trying to give you a heads up.
I'll let you decide what to do.
Thanks
THE SELLERS RESPONSE:
Ok point taken, and thanks.

Hey Robert that's heavy fella and i respect and can understand your decision. What would i do in a similar situation i really don't know but if anyone starts threatening me they better come prepared. Most of the big 'gangsta' types seem to have vanished from the Bay thankgod.

Crazy Robert, glad nothing came of it.
Semafor, I've no idea what you're talking about. No sarcasm at all. Did you misread or misunderstand what I've written?

na sorry einzigartig that comment wasn't directed at you i thought that EZ-1 and Rob were being funny, but clearly not........

Reporting a seller was not the real problem in my case. It was me 'asking' the seller to take his items off the bay BEFORE reporting him. eBay doesn't give away any details.
The guy contacted the sellers I had bought from in the past.
Crazy world!

Well that is really crazy Rob. That Fucker. And how come that sellers give away address data? Naive, stupid or what? I just can't understand that.

if these aren´t samples, i say fake too.
erm, yeah, just checked my own kzk's and the lining and heel patch are not like the ones in the auction. I just couldn't remember the details and looking at the sellers other auctions and feedback there was nothing that indicated they were fake.
Could be samples though like you mention yourself. Usually fakers wouldn't make mistakes that obvious with the rest looking spot on, if you know what I mean.
The fake 35ths consortiums were pretty damn close too. Well, at least after the fakers got their hands on the vins shape – the SS2 NBHDs and Unions weren't really that hard to spot

Nah, that is realy easy. When you mail a seller that you are doing business with someone who is scamming you, i think you`ve get the info you want realy fast.
Robert, the guy is not from Holland i supose? Internet is a bitch.
