Color Fro joys, seller needs proof of reprints!

The seller knows they are reprints and the buyer either intends to resell to some idiot at a flea market (or antique mall), or the buyer is indeed an ebay moron who bright people like yourself cannot really expect to have the sense to do their own research.

David - I know you are a big proponent of buyers educating themselves. But you have to realize, some people are not smart enough to know they need to be educated, and others actually think they are safe buying on ebay, especially when the b*stards at ebay create cloaks that give a false sense of security to their buyer/victims - do these people deserve to be screwed by people more intelligent, but less scrupulous? Of course not - that's why we have fraud protection (to some extent) in some of our country's laws. But it is ultimately up to us as members of a decent society to help out the other members of our society and to indicate our disgust at the outliers who choose not to behave as healthy members - and that's partly what we are doing on this board.

Saying that these buyers deserve what they get, since they didn't educate themselves, is like getting mad at your local McDonald's burger flipper - if they could perform anything more than the most trivial of tasks perfectly, they would be elsewhere.
