Hey everyone-
I just wanted to let you guys know that there is a afa graded 10179 listed on eBay right now that is a scam. I am 100% sure its a scam because I sold the set they are listing on March 29th. I realize that most of you do not or would not bid on any AFA sets/minifigures but I want to make sure none of you get scammed regardless.
This is the fake / scam auction. You will notice that they used my original images and auction text, including the misspelling of the word "serial".

The original auction can be found here:

To make this even more interesting, in my eyes, is the fact that when the original buyer got the set a couple of weeks ago and it arrived with a damaged AFA case, so I had her send it back to me. The exact set that the person on eBay is trying to sell is actually sitting on my desk in my office here. I have put a few calls into eBay to get the item removed but I wanted you guys to know about it "just in case".
