That seller's inventory is ludicrous. They're pumping out "rare" full-signed band and movie items like an assembly line. And their feedback is private except for a few recent items, so you can't see that they've probably sold 10 of those Beatles drum heads already.

I know nothing about the Beatles, but I checked U2 and they seem to have an even higher ratio of fakes than ebay (I think I spotted maybe 3 that looked possibly authentic in a sea of bad forgeries).  Ebay struggles to regulate forgeries, and it looks like perhaps ioffer just flat out doesn't have the know-how (or doesn't care) to even try.

I'm going to guess that a number of the sellers of fake Beatles items that could not get away with it on ebay are using i-offer.  The company is probably just too smal to take a legit shot at trying to rid the site of forgeries, something a big company like Ebay can't really even handle with much efficiency.

I would be interested to know if anything is ever removed from ioffer.com.
