Thing is though, not everybody has the same level of knowledge of these things. Let's not be too quick to judge.

I take your point John, but would you pay £70 for something you know absolutely nothing about ? If you see this programme go for £800 plus regularly , then surely the alarm bells start ringing when this one doesn't reach £100 ?

The seller is protected once he finds out it is a reprint. The seller is in the wrong ( no doubt he will plead ignorance ) . I often have a warning sign pop up if I sell old programmes , stating that you agree the item is original and not a fake/replica.

Let's not be picky.

John said "hooked a couple of mugs" and then said let's not be too quick to judge.

Terminology wasn't what it should have been!

Thing is though, despite the price it went for, nobody knows what the winning bidder actually left as their highest bid. Could have been in the hundreds?
