Looking at the sellers other items I’d say definitely one of Marks.

They're available on Marks main site to anyone.

If this chap is entrepreneurial enough to source them and then turn them out on ebay at a profit, and people daft enough not to do their research and hence pay over the odds, then there's little to stop him. Admittedly his listing is quite deceiving.
I'd guess that someone doing this has purchased more than one and Mark probably has an idea who it is and could refuse to supply if he wanted.

Let's just be thankful we're all members on here and therefore 'in the know' about where we can buy these at a sensible price, direct from the source.

He definitely has an aversion to the word “reproduction” that’s for sure. Must have caught quite a few buyers out.

I say good luck to the guy who is selling one of my repro envelopes for £30. I don't have the brass neck to do it, but if somebody else does, then good luck.

I put one of them on ebay last week it went for £6.50 with 1 bid.

So I suspect he may have it for a while.

I saw those pens the other day. Not a bad little idea, but why put something so "Big boy bouncy, bouncy" on it, not something that looks / sounds believable.

BTW. Saying something is "Big boy bouncy bouncy" is a reference to the fashion in countries like Japan top have inappropriate or meaningless slogans printed in English on Tee shirts.

A few examples being. . . . .

I'm sure you get my point now.

The "Feedback" is fake though

When you check out the feedback he has against the feed received as a buyer, it does not match.
How does he do that ?. The names of the buyers are not redacted
