Nope, dead duck 🦆😂
We didn’t get enough money together to test a couple of frames. Then as usual
A load d1ckheads piped up with, “Testing one frame won’t tell you anything — you need to test more than one.”
Really? 😂 And who exactly is paying for that then? FFS, there are some dickheads about.
Anyway, everyone was refunded and I cracked on with my life!
Quite amusing really, considering the number of people who are prepared to risk $1,000 on a counterfeit frame, but weren’t prepared to risk $10 or whatever it was to get a couple bought, sent to a professional, properly tested and have a report done.
I think some of them genuinely thought that if they didn’t get their $10 back, I was going to disappear off in my private jet to some sun-soaked island and live the good life 😂✈️🏝️.
Well looks like a few counterfeit sellers may have done exactly that already
That's a shame. I realy liked the post/idea when I stumbled on it last week. But you're not far off to conclude that there a bunch of very strange people out there. Good to let it rest and forget about it.
Thanks for your honesty and sharing this idea
