My thoughts exactly. Never mind the location. Throwaway account. Obscure color way.
this sub-forum seriously need to have the same requirement as classifieds to post

Part of the point of the subforum is that eBay helps handle all the legal ramifications of deals gone bad. It seems redundant to enforce our own rules on top of that.
Plus, these caps would be posted in the "Great Finds" subforum anyway. At least this way we know that it's a 0 post user and we can act accordingly.
I'm sorry, but at some point the buyer really needs to take at least *some* responsibility. Do your research, be smart, and read the feedback/responses posted in the thread. If, after reading the above comments, someone still wants to buy the cap, then more power to them.

IIRC, wasn't this one of the first counterfeit colorways? Might be imagining that though...
Either way, I would bid with caution. +1 to what the others have said.

Where the counterfeit caps easily distinguishable from the real ones?
i.e. did they have the stamp?

There were many that did not have stamps, especially in the sales hosted on K3's site. But I've heard rumors that he distributed some exact replicas locally - not sure how probable that is, but it's entirely possible and IMO fairly likely.
But now we're just speculating, so I'm not sure if we should continue with that. I think the point has been made that the buyer should beware here, no need to keep taking the thread further off-topic. Let's take the more general K3 discussion to the "fake Clacks thread". :thumb:
If it's real, RIP
If it's real, RIP
Well if there is no way to tell if it's real or not, we just assume it's real? :-\

How can we see if our eyes aren't real?
Hail Mary if cc posts with his opinion. Or the poster gives more details. I'm way too leery to even consider it.
I am surprised to see a fellow malaysian having rare clacks. I thought I’m the crazy one here.
CC's original look like black eyes (on both of them).
This one does not have black eyes.

Hmm looks really different doesn't it?

Eyes and skull are much lighter from the ebay auction, however I don't know if the skeletor came in a lighter color.
Should just lock the post and require him to send verification of who he obtained the keycap from to mods before allowing discussion to continue. And if he doesn't provide it, drop an IP ban on him and delete the thread.Belfong is not the only Malaysian with money and internet.
I'd say if Belfong isn't aware of a gr8est collector from his own country, we can pretty much wrap this one up anyway though (as they'd have crossed paths at some point).
edit- on second thought, if no verification then maybe change thread title to this is a scam instead of deleting it, and a mod can bump it daily so that no one stupidly buys it (though might be able to report to ebay as counterfeit goods and get it killed, idk how that works though).
So wait, this colorway doesn't exist?
Thought of getting that and maybe bring belfong along to do some verification or something
But really, apart from the fxe or CF logo (which is present on the eBay clack), how would I know if a clack is authentic or not?

that said, if mods think this thread should be locked, i have no issues with it. i will deal with any questions via ebay.
Is there such thing as negative 99 karma?
Listing removed.
Was this a scam?
