THE EBAY AL CAPONE'S

So, the online car boot sale EBAY and its 'sellers' are in trouble with many companies for selling fake goods, i know that at the moment they are most concerned with items like clothing and such but i wonder if they are ever going to get round to the records?
Just think, there must be at least one or two would be 'dot con millionaires' out there who have just used up all their savings hoping to make some serious cash with newly bought piles of the re-released SEX PISTOLS 'SPUNK' LP, with copies in every colour, plus those who are getting rid of their old records and are trying to make a few quid with their old bootlegs who are becoming a bit worried, not to mention those who regularly sell their bootlegs through EBAY, they must be getting well worried because along with DVDs and clothes, music must be one of the most bootlegged item's in the world.
So all those little AL CAPONE ("C-A-P-O-N-E, CAPONE!"-sorry.) types out there in EBAY land had be a bit more subtle when it comes to how they describe the 'items' they are selling, especially when it comes to well known bootlegs (of which there is too many to mention).
And I'm sure if they had too EBAY would draft in a specky git with inch thick glasses from RECORD COLLECTOR' to go through the records and weed the dodgy ones out, (starting with BOB DYLAN i expect).
so watch out because there may be a bootlegger massacre, and too bad if you are stuck with thirty copies of 'SPUNK' (in every colour) and was hoping to double your money because 'they' may be watching you.
on the other hand sometimes you get good ones for next to nothing so it would be a shame.
