That looks to be a joke...

Yeah, that's a fake.

I'm no expert in any way, but after reading this blog sometime ago, I can tell a fake from a real Reeve suit. Very interesting read, BTW.

But to go short, the color is off and the briefs are too high waisted. Also, I believe the original legs had no feet attached. Another red flag would be, that there seems to be no reserve.

That is Ed Pugia, I believe he was banned from here. A real con man.

looks like someone believed him.

That's such a shame that he got away with doing that. Someone will think they have a real, genuine suit and they've been ripped off

Specially for something as special as a Reeve's suit.

look at his feedback and past items..he is making a lot of money...Maybe when the buyer leaves feedback, some-one should contact him or her

What I want to know is exactly what do the MPA and UMCG do and what's the point in their existance?

This isn't the first fake thing I've seen being sold by someone who bosts his membership of such organizations.
