nakedfish1985 Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 So before I came into work today I was checking twitter and notice that someone got duped into buying a copy of the decline for ridiculous money only to find it was fake. I guess I could see it in the cards eventually but just thought I would start this post to let others know that it is happening. I am in work now and cannot check for full details but as I understand it, Side A was Decline on 33rpm and side B was Clams but at 45rpm... also the art etc seemed way off, like photocopies. Seems it came from Germany so might want to beware if considering it/have just won the lottery etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmapelteuz Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Do not buy from this seller. Well, clear Declines at least. Username tiporosenka. http://www.discogs.com/user/triporosenka I bought a clear Decline form him for 555€, but I smelt something fishy and never paid, luckily. His answers was written in the worst english, never bothered sending me matrix numbers or more details. Strange for a "3 clear declines" guy... He claims living in Germany, but his german seems as bad as his english is. His payapl adress is a Russian one though: [email protected] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hickey Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Wait. So, this guy sent a bootlegged clear version of the Decline, or he stiffed someone on the record? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GradedOnACurve Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 First post sounded like someone got a fake. Second post sounded like a person realized there were red flags and backed out of the deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hickey Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Yes, that's why I asked. This thread doesn't seem to have many answers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebiglebowski Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 That Fatwreckwiki link has some info about other known forgeries from this stream of music as well. Kinda just glad I don't have to worry about this because I never buy expensive variants. Been screwed over before though and know how shitty that feels.
