Fake bars - Credit Suisse and RCM

I have reported them both yesterday but they are still up an running.
The CS has a bid at $1325. The seller had it listed before as gold plated (and actually sold for few bucks).

They borh come with the hard plastic case which should "help" avoiding the buyer to weigh them.

    Isn't there a state prison in Angola Louisiana, the locale of the seller?

    holy crap! Who would buy that?

    I reported them. Hopefully with more than 2 days left they'll get yanked...but isn't Judith ( I think that's her name) not monitoring counterfeit auctions anymore? I wonder if that's a coincidence...as soon as she's gone it'll be attack of the fakes on eBay.
    To forgive is to free a prisoner, and to discover that prisoner was you.

    Recently received this from our friend at ebay:

    "This is the draft form of an article about eBay's policy with follow up
    from the company.

    Recently, an email message crossed our desk from Jerry Fuller of the U.S.
    Mexican Numismatic Association. In the email, Fuller expressed his concern
    that eBay had recently done away with their Community Watch Committee, an
    all volunteer group assigned with policing eBay's numismatic marketplace.

    CoinWeek spoke with company representative Melissa Winter about the
    communique and asked what this shift in resources meant for eBay and
    numismatic marketplace. Winter said that the Community Watch Committee was
    disbanded due to problems with enforcing impartiality amongst its members.
    Also, Winter states, opinions of the genuineness of items were often
    contradictory. This lack of consensus, and eBay's feeling that they needed
    to streamline the process for practical and legal reasons led to the
    decision.


    Under the new regime, when eBay customers report a suspicious item, eBay
    will attempt to validate the items on a case-by-case basis.

    The impact of this policy shift will play out in the days and weeks.
    CoinWeek will continue to follow this story."

    "opinions of the genuineness of items were often contradictory"
    Sort of like the US gold reserves. Really sinking in that a good deal may not be in this arena and go for the most legitimate sources.

    Now I wonder with a seller like this, and 91 sales and good feedback, can any of this ebay selling info be faked?
    (wondering if these are one shot wonders that sell a few things, make a few good cons and scores, then disappear)
