Hi, fake. Be aware of this seller. In the past I bought this fake from him and he had nice story about it. Paypal wanted me to return it to him before give me back money otherwise I would destroy this bad forgery.

Hi Sara and thank you for your help, much appreciated!

Based on what you say I will avoid this one, but are you sure we’re talking about the same seller? This is for sale in Sweden, at Tradera by a seller called Slap:

This means that someone bought it. Originally it was from adric11 from Texas.
I'm sending pictures of the time I owned and did not know it was fake. I also have big photos of this signature. In paypal are idiots. If they do not push me to return it it would be destroyed.

There is also topic where I am asking for this signature if it real. It is maybe 8 months back? I will try to find it when I get back home.

No need to, I´m sure you're 100% correct. And I agree regarding Paypal, by acting like they have done they have allowed a fake item to be sold again. That's really bad.

Thank you once again for your help!

The problem was that this was solved purely via paypal because ebay could not step in (it was almost 6 months after the purchase). I bought another 4 fake - all of them I have at home and all I put in one of the discussions here. I've already destroyed two - they were very bad. I still have two of them - but never will sell them of course. I do not want to destroy them because two forgers who made these signatures are still actively selling other samples...

I am sorry someone bought it. On ebay it was a month or two ago for $190 or Best offer :-(

I managed to find out that the seller from which I bought it has ebay nick adric11 and he is from Texas USA (I have full address as I had to return) Paypal account is to Formal Wear Specialist.

His story was that he and his brother are working for big recording company and they always have free pass to all concert what they want and met David for a few times in person. He was very careful and never said his name. :-)
