I cannot hear/read the word 'wanker' without thinking of Chip, er Chet, the name is Chet.
The utmost in crap:
On Writing : A Memoir of the Craft by Stephen King (2000, Hardcover) SIGNED
Update on project: BRING DOWN THE WALL
The original seller is allowing us to use his pictures for the investigation. Lou has personally confirmed that King did not sign that book and the pages on Kings story were blank. All the other signatures are legit.
Investigation will continue.

Would this affect his other listings or just the anthology? He has a bunch of forgeries listed at the moment.
If you are at liberty to say...
What's the end game here? Just a banning from eBay? Or perhaps (hoping against hope), actual law enforcement for mail fraud?
thankx everybody for their opinion !

Three groups involved:
Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3)
Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)
National White Collar Crime Center (NW3C)
If you notice, Ebay isn't mentioned at all. My Opinion Here: Ebay isn't at fault, they just provide the engine for all of us to use. Yes, the bad guy uses it just as much as the good guy.
Documentation has been filed, and I have been in touch with three different agents.
More information to come on project "BRING DOWN THE WALL"

That's great to hear, Ralph. I recall that mail fraud carries some pretty heavy penalties, so if he ever shipped any packages via the U.S. Postal Service (as opposed to FED-EX or UPS), the Postal Inspectors might get involved. Forgery, theft by deception, mail fraud...it could add up to serious shinola for Mr. Brennan. If so, let me be the first to buy you a drink for spearheading this. Hell, I'll buy you a case.
we should seriously have a post for who finds the absolute worse frauds on ebay.
This would definitely be a contender

I like his description as well - if you don't like it and return it then buyer needs to pay shipping fees (which were listed as $13 for economy to Cali - outrageous) and 20% restocking fee equal to bin price - which makes no sense - so basically to return it you'd have to pay twice for the crappy book - would anyone here contact this person and just tell them to take it down?
total scammer. and bad at it to boot.

This is only my second post, though I've visited the site off and on, and it's the first time I've taken the time to read through a few weeks of this thread. It's illuminating. I really appreciate the work you are doing here.
