Good on you for walking away. Well done. Once that starts being accepted, we're on a slippery slope.

Really nice to see some lateral thinking about how to deal with the rash of cheap fakes on fleabay passed off as "real". Nice one.

Interesting responses - thanks everyone. I agree that the best safeguard against theft is not to be an easy target in the first place.
