Real or fake

Hi
Im new to collecting having got back into it only in the past year or so. I was looking on eBay to work out what some of my collection that Im looking at selling would be worth. I came across this seller and this item just doesn't look right to me. The axle ends to state the obvious, there are a few listings with this seller and most look ok but there are a couple that don't look right. Any opinion on this?

Hi Simon,
Welcome to the forum.
I don't see anything odd or unusual about this sellers toys, they are all very common pieces so very unlikely to be messed about with in any way.

Hi Nick

I treat your guides as a bible but most of my collection is unboxed so I just like to have an idea of what sort of value they are and if the would be worth selling as I would rather keep most but due to lack of space Im having to scale down but also replace with better condition or different variants if I can.

I just thought the axle ends looked very large on this model but I trust your judgement. I learn something new :)
