I know of at least one other buyer who also purchased both of these items from you as well. Can you please tell me how you came about so many copies of these items? I have been involved in researching these 2 particular items and these items that you are selling actually do not appear to be authentic and they actually appear top be very well made fakes. Can you please claify how and where you came upon these items? Thanks for your time.

That just doesn't sound quite right, does it? (His extensively argumentative and inflexible shipping terms are another big hint that something's not on the level...)
