Should tell him to put "Furphy" in the Title Description and watch him get shot down.

I see he has totally removed "Brand: Furphy" from the listing.

How come it doesn't have "Revised" written after "Description" if it has been revised?

Jono I think it might be because its an "ebay store" listing. The options for editing listings in a store are much different to those for a "normal listing".....note...."I think"....i could be wrong.

As we all know, when it comes to purchasing on ebay, it's very much about "buyer beware"

Just had a bit of a thought. big Aart might know someone to help with the legality of it all. We all buy cheap chinese camp ovens and put them on ebay.
the item discription

This is A Real furphy (meaning bullsh*t)
you wont find a better camp oven to cook with (another furphy)
highly collectable (another furphy)

the money is there to be made, come on guys before its too late.

I reckon there's a lot of unscrupulous sellers out there trying to make a quick buck. I think I've already mentioned in a previous post, the bloke I came across who was gloating over selling stuff on ebay for 3 times the RRP. Angry
