Anyone know anything about this Ebay Seller? duncan123tracy
They have had several regular wheel variations with very hard to find wheel variations-- 59B Ford fairlane fire chief w/ SPW; 15B Prime Mover w/ GPW, etc. A couple of other examples below:

I believe that the 123 in this Seller's I.D. is characteristic of a notorious and well known rare wheel faker who is very well known by our U.K. Forum members. I am sure when everyone wakes up over there in the A.M., they will identify what may be yet another new E Bay identity for this Faker and Fraudster.
When a single Seller offers only the rarest of wheel variations and not the rest of a collection, Buyer beware. When that same Seller has Feedback showing a history of rare model sales ONLY, Please stay away from them, they are just plain trouble. These rarest of wheel variations are usually held in the best and oldest collections in the world, or with well known dealers when they buy those collections. I think you did well to ask here before considering any models from the Seller you have named here. Cheers! kwakers

Numi and I both have strong reservations about this seller's listings, and I would definitely not by anything from him/her.
As regards his Ebay name, although "...123..." is synonymous with TuT, this seller is from Leeds rather than Market Drayton so, at best, it could onlt be TuT's brother! :D

Hi Hugh & all, I think he has got a little shed at the bottom of the garden where he is turning them out, it makes me think how many are getting into the auction rooms. Pete.

All, Thank you for your comments and you confirmed my thoughts about this Seller. When the bpw 34a VW showed up, the warning flags really went up. Always on alert to keep these fraudsters at bay......
Thanks,
