WARNING: Signed CND Soldiers 252/350 on Ebay, by Poster Bob on Apr 13, 2017 16:55:11 GMT 1, Hi,
In case anyone was thinking of bidding on this, I am worried by the listing. I was offered this piece by a gallery in October of 2016. I made an offer and it was later sold to someone else. This Ebay listing uses the exact same pictures that I was sent by the gallery and a nearly word-for-word plagiarized description. These pictures are also publicly available for download from the gallery's website. In my mind, if you combine the seller's previous negative feedback, refusal of a face-to-face transaction, the publicly available pictures, the extremely low starting price and the failure to repair the print before selling it, something seems off.

WARNING: Signed CND Soldiers 252/350 on Ebay, by dotdot on Apr 13, 2017 19:39:46 GMT 1, an interesting story.
the work is being sold elsewhere - by someone else.
(who has not, seemingly, reported it stolen..)
Far be it for me to say Rochdale is a fine part of the country.
seller is not sure what they've got or what they want to say.
read into that what you will - this is unlike the other one (print , not cnd /s) which flew past a couple of months back , which was legit.
imo : steer away or you risk hitting oncoming 'beul merde'.
